DO YOU HAVE YOUR GOLD STAR?

As of May 7, 2025, you will need a REAL ID gold star on your driver's license/ID or another TSA-approved identity document like a passport to fly within the U.S. or access certain federal facilities.

  • To get your REAL ID gold star, you will need to visit us in person and bring additional documents with you.
  • If you choose not to get a REAL ID, you will receive a driver's license or identification card that reads, "NOT FOR REAL ID ACT PURPOSES".
  • Find out more about Real ID.

Has my new license/ID card been mailed?

Your new driver’s license or ID card will arrive in a plain white envelope within 30 days of being processed.
