The required date for obtaining a mandatory 'Real ID' has been extended to 7 May 2025. After that date either a "Real ID" or a current passport will be required in order to fly commercially within the United States or to enter certain Federal properties.We (Oklahoma) are one of the exceptions. We do not need or require a real ID. It’s only purpose is for entering federal buildings, military installations, or flying around in the continental United States.
I haven’t been on an aircraft since I left the service in 99. It’s kind of funny because I work on aircraft on a daily basis. I’ve been to more states and countries than the average bear. My desire to travel via aircraft is non existent.
Now on the other hand the exception of riding my Harley to different places is a different story.
As an American I never thought I would see the day when official travel papers from our Federal .gov would be required in order to travel by commercial air, even within my own countries borders. I suppose Interstate travel by trains and bus will be next . . . then private auto/motorcycle. It's no longer as hard to imagine the existence of 'travel paper' checkpoints throughout our country, as it once was
