Dear Travel Friends
REAL ID-COMPLIANCE IDENTIFICATION DEADLINE
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has asked travel agents to begin reminding our traveling clients they will have to have Real ID-compliant identification for travel, beginning October 2020.
In 20 months, the rules for flying out of any U.S. airport will undergo their biggest change ever and the Homeland Security is calling on the travel industry early, to help keep air travelers informed.
According to Homeland Security, our State of Colorado is compliant with the REAL ID act, which means driver's licenses currently being issued by the state will be accepted by federal agencies.
In two months and 18 months ahead of the Real ID deadline, DHS will ramp up its communications efforts to make sure the public knows and understands the new rules.
