Have you got your Real ID?

June 28, 2024 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Can your license fly? This was a question put to participants at the June Halifax TRIAD meeting. Speaker Michele Ellicks from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) explained that beginning May 7, 2025, in order to board a flight in the United States, you will need to have a federally accepted ID. A federally accepted ID includes the Real ID issued by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, a United States Passport, or a Military ID. A federally-approved ID will also be needed to enter most Federal Buildings. One exception to that would be entering a post office.
If your Massachusetts Drivers License or State issued ID Card has a star in the upper right corner your license or ID is a Real ID and is ready to fly. Without the star it is considered a standard ID and does not meet the requirements as a federal ID. It is still a valid drivers license and ID. To bring your license or state- issued ID up to the Real ID you need to bring additional original documentation to the RVM when renewing. You must provide original document verifying lawful presence/Date of Birth. Proof of Social Security number is required. If you use your Social Security card it must not be laminated. To prove residency you will need two recent documents providing proof of Massachusetts residency. If applicable, you will need a document proving a name change.
It is best to consult the RVM website for the guidelines before renewing your drivers license or state issued ID card. For more information visit mass.gov/RMV. Appointments are also required and can be made online or by calling (857)-368-8005.
This informative presentation was recorded by Area 58 and will be available to view on the local cable channels or online at area58.tv
The next TRIAD meeting is on Tuesday, July 2 at 10:00 in the Great Room of the Halifax Town Hall. The guest speaker will be Charlie Chase, President of Descendants of Whaling Masters . Chase will discuss the Massachusetts whaling industry. The public is always invited to attend TRIAD meetings and refreshments are provided.
