Question

**IMPORTANT**

Answer

Starting in May 2025, a Real ID or a valid passport is required to fly in the United States (alternative options are in the link below). You WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLY if you do not have one of these options. The DMVs are booking up with appointments for the Real ID. If you're having trouble getting an appointment, try smaller cities such as Mount Airy, NC. You cannot get a Real ID via online only. You have to bring your birth certificate to the DMV to get a Real ID.
