With the impending implementation of new identification rules at U.S. airports on May 7, the California DMV advises those with valid passports to delay getting a Real ID. Standard driver's licenses will no longer suffice for airport security. The DMV is extending hours at select offices to accommodate increased demand, particularly with some offices open on Saturdays for Real ID applications. Applicants are encouraged to start the process online to streamline their visits, which should only take about 15 minutes if completed correctly.
As of May 7, travelers will no longer be able to use a standard driver's license to pass through airport security, necessitating a Real ID or passport.
The DMV recommends that individuals who already possess a valid U.S. passport can afford to wait to obtain their Real ID until their next license renewal.
To handle increasing demand before the Real ID deadline, the DMV is extending hours at selected offices, including special Saturday openings.
To expedite the Real ID application process, the DMV suggests starting online, which makes the in-office portion only take about 15 minutes.
