CONNECTICUT — This is the rare news article about REAL ID that is not detailing another push-back of the deadline.
That means there are less than seven months remaining before Connecticut residents will need to show a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license to fly within the United States, unless they have other approved identification.
The deadline to get a REAL ID is May 7, 2025. After that date, federal agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration, will no longer accept identification that does not meet the new standards.
