  • The deadline to have the federally approved driver's license, which will allow you to fly within the United States, is coming up.

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.
