Without Real ID

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is issuing a critical advisory for travelers without Real ID documentation. Passengers lacking the enhanced identification are strongly cautioned to arrive at the airport a minimum of three hours before their scheduled departure. Even with this extended arrival time, the TSA emphasizes that early arrival does not guarantee boarding eligibility. The recommendation underscores the increasing complexity of travel documentation requirements. Travelers without Real ID may experience significant screening challenges, potential delays, and potential inability to board their flights. Proactive preparation and obtaining the appropriate identification are essential for smooth airport transit.
