REAL ID-compliant licenses are designated with a star or special wording on the card. To obtain a REAL ID license, you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Primary Identification (current state ID, driver&#8217;s license, passport, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Proof of Social Security<\/li>\n<li>Proof of Address<\/li>\n<li>Proof of any legal name changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Can I use a passport in place of a REAL ID license?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Travelers who wish to fly domestically after the October 1 deadline can use a U.S. passport or U.S. military ID if they do not have a REAL ID yet.<\/p>\n<h3>Where can I get more information on applying for and obtaining a REAL ID license?<\/h3>\n<p>You can go to the online portal of the Department of Homeland Security&#8217;s website. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/travel\/news\/millions-of-americans-could-be-grounded-from-flying-because-of-real-id-deadline\/ar-BB1fVdBT?ocid=uxbndlbing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access the online portal<\/a>.
