Leavin’ on a Jet Plane

Beginning Oct. 1, 2020, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. A regular state of Illinois driver’s license and/or state ID will not be sufficient.

That means you have a year to make sure you are ready and set to go with your travel documents. You don’t want to get stuck at the airport on the way to an out-of-town shoot!

Edit: Due to the coronavirus, or COVID-19, outbreak, the deadline for REAL ID-compliant driver's license is now Oct. 1, 2021. For more information, please visit the Department of Homeland Security website.
