U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights. TSA will no longer accept state-issued identifications that are not REAL ID compliant at TSA security checkpoints. All airline passengers 18 years and older, including TSA PreCheck® members must present REAL ID compliant identification or another acceptable ID, such as a passport, at TSA security checkpoints.
Passengers who present a state-issued identification that is not REAL ID compliant and who do not have another acceptable alternative (ie passport) can expect to face delays, additional screening and the possibility of not being permitted into the security checkpoint.
Beginning February 1, 2026: TSA is launching a modernized program known as ‘‘TSA ConfirmID’’.
This modernized, technology-enabled program will provide additional methods of alternative identity verification beyond what TSA currently provides and reduce the time required to verify identities using the existing methods.
Individuals who seek to use the TSA ConfirmID program multiple times within a 10-day period will not be required to pay an additional fee. Even if they have gone through this process once in that 10-day period, individuals must successfully confirm their identity on each use. Individuals who confirm their identity using the TSA ConfirmID program may still be subject to additional screening or experience delays.
TSA will not refund the $45 fee, in whole or in part, to individuals whose identities are not verified or who are unable to enter the sterile area based upon the results of the identity verification process.
If an individual chooses to use the program and submit the required information, TSA will use the individual’s biographic and/or biometric information to verify identity and match the individual to their Secure Flight watch list result. TSA anticipates that this modernized program will increase efficiency for each individual by streamlining steps taken to verify an individual’s identity and substantially increase the number of individuals for whom TSA can provide alternative identity verification by leveraging technology to significantly expand program capacity.
As a reminder, the FAA has zero tolerance for unruly passenger behavior. If you disrupt a flight, you risk not only substantial fines from the FAA, but also federal criminal prosecution and jail time. The FAA can propose fines of up to $37,000 per violation for unruly passenger cases. One incident can result in multiple violations.
