What if you don t have one or don t plan to get it?
Donald asked Somers: If I have an enhanced driver’s license that expires 2026, do I need to go get the REAL ID to fly or leave the country, and what do they consider the second ID?
Donald and other New Yorkers
NY is one of a few states offering enhanced licenses.” Those are a step up from REAL IDs. They cost $30 more but allow you to also travel by land or sea from Canada, Mexico, and some countries in the Caribbean. Then you have REAL IDs to get you through TSA for domestic flights.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced DHS to delay full enforcement of the REAL ID law from October 1, 2021, to May 3, 2023, the agency has announced.
The REAL ID law requires every air traveler 18 years or older to show genuine REAL ID-compliant identification documents at airport security checkpoints for domestic travel. Those under 18 must be travelling with an individual who has acceptable documentation.
As air travel continues to pick up, full enforcement of REAL ID is being extended by 19 months to May 3, 2023. This is good news for air travelers who have not yet been able to obtain REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses or another TSA-acceptable forms of identification.
Full Enforcement of REAL ID Law Moved to 2023 Thursday, April 29, 2021

WASHINGTON U.S. residents now have an additional 19 months to get a REAL ID card.
Previously the deadline for air travelers to have a REAL ID-compliant form of identification had been Oct. 1, 2021.
Now, that deadline has been postponed until May 3, 2023, for Washington and all other states. The Department of Homeland Security said the new delay is due to the pandemic, which is making it harder for people to get into state motor vehicle departments and get the new IDs. Fewer than half of Americans have obtained their REAL ID.
