Beginning May 7th, travelers will need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or ID Card or another form of federally acceptable identification (such as a valid passport or military ID) to board a domestic commercial flight and enter military bases and other federal facilities that require ID at the door.
PennDOT is hosting a series of REAL ID Days at driver license centers across the commonwealth. During these events, centers will be exclusively processing REAL IDs to help Pennsylvanians obtain a REAL ID before the enforcement deadline. REAL ID Days are held on Mondays when the centers are typically closed. The centers will still be open during their normal hours and people can also get a REAL ID or conduct other driver license business during that time. A complete schedule of REAL ID Days events can be found on PennDOT’s website - https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dmv/driver-services/real-id/real-id-days.html
If you're not sure whether a REAL ID is right for you, The REAL ID online wizard may be able to help - https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dmv/driver-services/real-id/is-real-id-for-me.html A passport is still needed for international travel.
Federal REAL ID regulations require that PennDOT must verify the below documents:
Proof of Identity: examples include an original or certified copy of a birth certificate filed with the State Office of Vital Records/Statistics with a raised/embossed seal, or a valid, unexpired U.S. Passport.
Proof of Social Security Number (proof must display currently legal name and full nine digits of the Social Security Number): examples include a Social Security card, a W-2 form, a SSA-1099 form, a non-SSA-1099 form, or a pay stub.
Two Proofs of Current, Physical PA Address: examples include a current, unexpired PA driver's license or identification card, vehicle registration, or a utility bill with the same name and address.
Proof of all Legal Name Changes (if current legal name is different than what is reflected on proof of identity document): examples include certified marriage certificate(s) issued by the County Court for each marriage, court order(s) approving a change in legal name, or adoption decree issued by your county's family court.
Note: If current name is the same as what is reflected on the proof of identity document (usually birth certificate or passport), proof of legal name change does not need to be shown.
