Arizonans have one year left to get new ID for domestic air travel

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — There’s now only one year remaining until the federal deadline mandating a new compliant ID for domestic airline travelers.

If you don’t have the new travel ID, now is a good time to make an appointment with the Arizona MVD.

The gold star in the upper right corner of an Arizona Travel ID shows that the holder has met federal standards requiring extra documentation.

The program, which was set to begin May 3, 2023, will be enforced starting May 7, 2025. Beginning then, federal agencies, including TSA, will not accept driver’s licenses and identification cards that do not meet federal standards.

Walk-ins are allowed for this service at Arizona MVD offices, but making an appointment online can make the process smoother. The travel ID costs $25 and is valid for eight years.
