Applying for a Real ID in Pennsylvania

Starting May 7, 2025, you’ll need a REAL ID or another accepted ID to fly within the U.S. or enter some federal buildings.

A REAL ID looks like a regular driver’s license but has a gold star in the top right corner.

Visit the Department of Transportation’s website to learn how to apply and what documents you’ll need.
