Real ID Deadline Is REAL!

Virginians have less than a month to get a Real ID before it’s required for domestic flights and entry to federal facilities. As of now, more than 40% of Virginia’s active licenses haven’t been updated, leaving the state with a 59% Real ID compliance rate. Meanwhile, Maryland and D.C. boast a 99% compliance rate. Travelers can still use a U.S. passport for domestic flights after the May 7 deadline. To get a Real ID, apply online and visit one of Virginia’s 76 DMV centers with the required documents and $10.
