TSA Deadline: 62% Of Americans Have Exactly One Year To Get A Driver’s License With A Star On It
Oct 1, 2020
Americans are flying a whole lot less since the Covid-19 pandemic began, according to throughput data from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) . But there’s a deadline looming for those who want to get on a plane a year from now.
Beginning October 1, 2021, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer from accept previous versions of driver’s licenses as identification. Every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, state-issued enhanced driver's license, or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States.
Driver's licenses with stars in the upper corner are REAL ID compliant , meaning that they are more secure than older versions. The rules were first announced back in 2005, when Congress passed the REAL ID Act on the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. The law is intended to create a national standard and make sure every state has a more secure driver's license.

Starting one year from now, air travelers without a REAL ID will have to bring an alternative form of acceptable ID to the airport or be turned away at the security checkpoint. The list of acceptable IDs includes a passport; a military ID; a border ID card; a trusted traveler card, such as Global Entry; a permanent resident card; and other documents.
