TSA, Real ID
Digest more
The fee will begin being implemented on Feb. 1 and will allow those with a non-Real ID compliant driver's license or ID to board their flight.
The updated ID has been required since May, but passengers without it have so far been allowed to clear security with additional screening and a warning. The Department of Homeland Security says 94% of passengers are already compliant and that the new fee is intended to encourage travelers to obtain the ID.
If you show up to airport security without the right ID, TSA will make you pay. Here’s when the new $45 fee starts and who it affects.
