The “Real ID” deadline is here

You’ve heard us talk the new “Real IDs” needed to fly soon on the Dave and Jen Morning Show and with Nikki on the ride home.

How soon? NOW!

Wednesday is the deadline to get the new “Real ID” driver’s license from the DMV.

It has a star in the top right corner to show you’ve verified your identity.

Gizmodo says that if you don’t have it the next time you fly, you should plan on being at the airport at least three hours early because you’ll be subject to delays and additional screening…and even then, you might not be cleared to fly.

Your current driver’s license will no longer be enough to board a flight…without one, you’ll need a U.S. passport, Global Entry or NEXUS, a permanent resident card, a border crossing card, a foreign government-issued passport or a Veteran Health ID Card to fly.

If you don’t have one of those, bring as many other IDs with your photo on them you can find…and if you aren’t flying until this summer, arrange to get a “Real ID” NOW!
