REAL ID
Effective May 7, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security will enforce the final phase of the REAL ID Act. A REAL ID is a state-issued driver's license or identification card that meets federal security standards and is marked with a star or similar symbol in the upper corner (e.g., a bear with a star in California).
In response, the FAA has updated its visitor access policy to align with Department of Transportation and federal agency requirements. All visitors to FAA facilities must present a driver's license that is REAL ID-compliant or will need to present an alternative form of acceptable identification.
