Starting May 7th, Michiganders will need a REAL ID or another federally approved document to board domestic flights. Over 73% of Michigan residents already have a REAL ID, marked by a star on their license or ID. Those without one should apply soon to avoid travel delays. Upgrading during renewal is free; otherwise, fees apply. The Michigan Department of State is reminding residents through airports, mail notices, and marketing campaigns. Don’t wait—get REAL ID ready now to ensure smooth travel.
