Real ID: Who really needs it and when (spoiler alert, most people don’t need it by May 7th)

GREENSBORO, N.C. — It’s all you’re hearing about, ‘You need a Real ID by May 7’. But do you?

Let me give you three things to know that could keep you out of a very long DMV line.

#1 You need a Real ID by May 7 if you want to fly anywhere in the US on May 7.

The government requires you to have a Real ID or a Passport to get on a plane starting May 7, 2025. But if you aren’t traveling anytime soon or already have a passport, be a good neighbor and stay away from the DMV.

Are you not traveling, or do you already have a passport? Don’t get in the DMV fray!
