REAL ID Deadline Down To 7 Months: 5 Things To Know In CT

The Real ID deadline, set to take effect on May 7, 2025, is approaching, and there are several key points Connecticut residents should know. Firstly, a Real ID is necessary for domestic air travel and access to certain federal facilities, requiring individuals to present a Real ID-compliant driver's license or ID card marked with a star. Secondly, to obtain a Real ID, one must visit a DMV office with documents proving identity, Social Security number, and Connecticut residency. Thirdly, the application process can be expedited by using the DMV's online pre-verification system, which helps ensure all necessary documents are in order before visiting the office. Fourthly, there is no rush to get a Real ID immediately, as standard licenses will remain valid until the deadline, but applying early can help avoid potential last-minute rushes. Lastly, the cost for a Real ID is the same as for a regular license or ID, with no additional fee, and it is valid for the same duration as a standard license.
