Supposedly next May you'll need a Real ID to board any plane, even domestic. Or, you could use a passport.

If you need to enter military bases, "secure federal facilities" or nuke power plants, you'll need the Real ID. Not sure is a passport would suffice, but it might. I guess it's one way to get out of grand jury duty?

This is from https://oklahoma.gov/service/popular-services/real-id-checklist.html Others have linked to what you need to get one.


REAL IDs are Optional​


If you do not think you have a need to fly, enter a federal building, or visit a military installation or nuclear site, you do not need a REAL ID.
However, if you suddenly need to fly on or after May 7, 2025 and you do not have a valid U.S. passport, military ID, or another federally approved identification, you will need a REAL ID in order to board a commercial domestic flight.
Regardless of whether you have a REAL ID or not, you must still have an unexpired U.S. Passport to travel internationally.


You do not need a REAL ID driver license or identification card to do any of the following:
  • Drive
  • Vote
  • Apply for or receive federal benefits to which you are entitled (Veterans Affairs, Social Security Administration, etc.)
  • Enter a federal facility that does not require an ID (i.e. a post office)
  • Access a hospital or receive life-saving services
  • Participate in law enforcement proceedings or investigations (serve on a federal jury, testify in federal court, etc.)
