What is a REAL ID?
A REAL ID is a Driver's License or State ID with a gold star in the top right corner indicating it meets federal minimum security standards. Starting May 7, 2025, you may need a REAL ID (or a federal ID like a passport) to fly within the U.S. or to enter certain federal buildings, such as a courthouse.
REAL ID is a more secure version of your state-issued driver's license or ID, with standards set by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Beginning May 7, 2025, a REAL ID* will be required to:
- Board a domestic flight
- Enter military bases or specific federal buildings
- Enter nuclear power plants
*Or valid federal identification document (i.e. U.S. Passport)
Programs like TSA PreCheck and CLEAR will also require REAL ID-approved documents to enroll.
How to Obtain a REAL ID
Bring the following documents to your visit
| Documents | Examples | Requirements |
| Proof of Identity | Birth Certificate or U.S. Passport | 1 proof |
| Proof of Oklahoma Residency | Utility Bill or Credit Card Statement | 2 proofs |
| Social Security Number | Physical card not required | |
| Name Change Documents | Marriage Certificate, Divorce Decree, or Court Order | Required for all name changes since birth |
| Immigration or Legal Presence Documents | Permanent Resident Card or Employment Authorization Card | If applicable |
A REAL ID often only takes one more document, and it’s likely something you already have!
Visit a Licensed Operator or Service Oklahoma Licensing Office
You may visit your local Licensed Operator (previously called a tag agency) to receive a REAL ID if you are a U.S. Citizen or a permanent resident.
You may also view live wait times and join the waitlist at all Service Oklahoma Licensing Offices.
Note
If you are under the age of 18, you must have a parent or legal guardian with you.
Pay the fees and get your temporary REAL ID
Be sure to bring the documents from your REAL ID checklist to your visit. Your checklist was sent to your email if you elected to provide it.
You will be given a paper temporary to use until you receive your REAL ID in the mail.
This paper temporary is not accepted by TSA for flying, so we strongly recommend applying for your REAL ID at least 4 weeks before you plan to travel.
