The State Department of Motor Vehicles is urging all New Yorkers to get a REAL ID before the upcoming federal deadline.
Starting May 3rd, 2023, a REAL ID, Enhanced ID or passport will be required for anyone who wants to board a domestic flight. People whose license or ID is up for renewal now can get a REAL ID at no additional cost to the renewal fee, and those seeking to upgrade now when not up for renewal pay an extra $12.50.
