Get Yourself Your REAL ID Before It's Too Late
/
Tina Kinsey, Vice-President of Marketing, PR and Air Service Development at the Asheville Regional Airport, reminds us to get our REAL ID. The federal REAL ID Act places new rules on which forms of identification may be used to board flights within the United States (U.S.) and enter secure federal facilities, such as military bases, federal courthouses, and other federal facilities.
A REAL ID is like any ordinary driver’s license/ID but to get one, you need to present extra documentation to your state’s DMV or driver’s license agency.
You will need to visit your state’s DMV or driver’s license agency in person and Tina highly recommends setting up an appointment if possible.
Recommended: Schedule an appointment online to visit your state’s DMV or driver’s license agency (if applicable).
Bring the following required documents:
Proof of Identity: Your current driver’s license/ID card
Proof of Citizenship: Official birth certificate, valid U.S. Passport, Unexpired foreign passport with valid U.S. Visa and approved I-94 form, or a Certificate of Naturalization
Proof of Social Security Number: Your Social Security card or a W-2 with your full name and Social Security Number
Proof of Residency: Two (2) documents are required such as a utility bill, mortgage/lease statement, bank statement, or credit card statement. Must contain your full name and address.
Proof of Name Change (if applicable): If you’ve changed your legal name bring your legal name change document (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order)
