Beginning on October 1, 2020, the federal government will no longer consider
standard driver's licenses as a sufficient form of identification for air
travel. Going forward, TSA will require a federally compliant driver's
license/identification card or another acceptable form of identification
(such as a U.S. passport or military ID) to fly within the United States.

Ohio began offering federally compliant licenses and identification cards on
July 2, 2018. Since then, only 27% of Ohioans obtaining a new or renewed
card have opted for the federally compliant version.

"We want to make sure Ohio travelers are aware of the upcoming change in the
law and have ample time to get their federally compliant license or
identification card if they need one," said Governor DeWine.  "Our goal is
to eliminate headaches and frustration at Ohio's airports so that our
citizens can quickly get where they need to go."

The new federal requirements are part of the 2005 REAL ID Act which Congress
passed following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The strengthened
federal requirements standardize the process of issuing driver's licenses
and identification cards throughout the country to prevent identity theft
and fraud. Federally compliant cards include a number of enhanced security
features and are marked with a black star in the righthand corner.

Ohioans who choose to obtain a compliant new or renewed license or
identification card will be required to provide documentation at a deputy
registrar location proving their name and date of birth (such as a birth
certificate or passport), Social Security number (such as a Social Security
card or most recent W2), and two additional documents proving residential
address (such as a utility bill or bank statement). Those who have changed
their names must also provide a certified marriage certificate, divorce
decree, U.S. passport, or court order with their legal name.

The Ohio BMV has a full list of documents that Ohioans can use to obtain a
compliant driver's license or ID at

website also has an interactive checklist to help Ohioans create a
customized, printable list of documents.

"The BMV looks forward to working with our partners across the state to
provide Ohioans with the information and tools they need to make their REAL
ID interaction go as smoothly as possible," said Ohio BMV Registrar Charles
Norman.  "We encourage customers to make an informed decision about their
REAL-ID needs well in advance of October 1, 2020, to avoid the potential
rush as we approach the federal deadline for compliance." 

Ohioans do have the option to carry a standard, non-compliant driver's
license or identification card for purposes of driving, voting, etc.
Standard cards do not require the additional documentation needed for
federally compliant cards, but TSA will not accept them to board an airline
flight. Those with standard cards can, however, board a flight with another
type of acceptable documentation such as a U.S. passport or military ID. A
full list of documents accepted by TSA for airline flights can be found at
