Want to fly commercially and use your state driver's license to board? Starting May 7th, you’ll have to use REAL ID, a passport or another acceptable form of ID. REAL ID cannot be obtained online; you must visit a DMV office and bring original or certified documents to prove:

• Identity (such as a U.S. passport or birth certificate)
• Date of Birth
• Oregon Residence Address
• Lawful Status in the U.S.
• Social Security Number (or proof of ineligibility)

For those without a REAL ID, there are alternative forms of identification that will be accepted at TSA checkpoints, including:

• U.S. Passport or U.S. Passport Card
• DHS Trusted Traveler Cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST)
• U.S. Military ID
• Permanent Resident Cards (Green Cards)
• Tribal-issued Photo IDs
• Foreign Government-Issued Passports
• Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)

To get a REAL ID in Oregon, residents will need to visit a local DMV office in person. REAL ID is optional! If you have a passport or another TSA-approved ID, you do not need a REAL ID to fly. To check the required documents click the button below.
