The article from Yahoo News discusses the upcoming enforcement of the REAL ID Act, set to take effect on May 7, 2025, which will require travelers to use a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification to board domestic flights within the United States. The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005 to establish minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards.

It also provides information on how to obtain a REAL ID, noting that the process varies by state but generally involves visiting a local DMV with required documentation. The article concludes by highlighting the significance of this change for air travel and urging travelers to prepare in advance to avoid any disruptions.
