Washington Real ID Deadline and Requirements

Washington State Nears Real ID Deadline: What Residents Need to Know

Olympia, WA – May 8, 2025 – Time is running out for Washington residents to upgrade their driver’s licenses or ID cards to comply with the federal Real ID Act. Starting May 7, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will enforce stricter identification requirements for domestic air travel and entry into federal facilities, meaning standard Washington state IDs will no longer be accepted for these purposes.

What is Real ID?

Passed by Congress in 2005, the Real ID Act establishes enhanced security standards for state-issued identification to help prevent fraud and terrorism. A Real ID-compliant license or ID card includes a gold star in the upper right corner, indicating it meets federal requirements.

Who Needs a Real ID?

Washington residents who plan to:

Board domestic flights (after May 7, 2025)

Enter federal buildings, military bases, or nuclear facilities

Do not need one for driving, voting, or accessing hospitals and banks

How to Get a Real ID in Washington

To apply, residents must visit a Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) office in person and provide:

Proof of identity (e.g., birth certificate or passport)

Proof of Social Security number (e.g., Social Security card or W-2)

Two proofs of Washington residency (e.g., utility bill, bank statement)

Legal name change documents (if applicable, such as marriage certificate)

The fee for a Real ID is the same as a standard license renewal: $89 for a six-year license.

Deadline Approaching – Act Soon

While the DOL has processed thousands of Real ID applications, officials urge residents not to wait until the last minute. 'We’ve seen increased demand, so scheduling an appointment now can save time and hassle,' said DOL spokesperson Christine Anthony.

Alternatives to Real ID

Those who don’t wish to get a Real ID can use other federally approved documents, such as:

U.S. Passport or Passport Card

Military ID

Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) (already compliant for land/sea border crossings)

Final Reminder

With less than a month until enforcement begins, Washingtonians are encouraged to check their IDs and gather necessary documents to avoid travel disruptions.
