Let us help you get a passport book or card, so that you are REAL ID compliant.

The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005 to establish minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards.

Does your child need a REAL ID to fly? Here’s what parents should know:

Good news – TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling domestically.

However, if your teen plans to fly unaccompanied AND they have TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass, they will need either a REAL ID or another form of acceptable ID (like a passport) to receive expedited screening in the TSA PreCheck dedicated lanes.

If your teen is getting their first ID soon, consider getting a REAL ID, so they’re travel-ready for the future!
