An important change is coming soon regarding identification requirements for domestic travel and access to certain federal facilities. Beginning May 7, 2025, individuals aged 18 and older will need to present a REAL ID or an acceptable alternative, such as a government-issued passport, passport card, or military ID, to board commercial flights in the United States. REAL IDs will also be necessary for entry into specific federal facilities like military bases or nuclear plants.
Oregon provides both standard issue and REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses, instruction permits, and identification cards. The DMV advises that if you are not planning to fly soon, it may be practical to wait until your current credential needs renewal before obtaining a REAL ID. Alternatively, using a passport remains an option.
