What is a STAR ID?

A STAR ID is a driver’s license or ID card that is also a federally accepted form of identification. REAL ID cards have a star in the upper-right hand corner-right corner. 

As of May 7, 2025, the federal government will require every person 18 years and older to present a REAL ID-compliant state-issued driver’s license or ID card or another acceptable form of identification β€” like a valid U.S. passport β€” to board a flight within the U.S. or enter a secure federal building.

STAR ID is Optional!                                                   πŸ“₯ Download the STAR ID Flyer.
