Starting February 1, individuals planning to fly who don't have a REAL ID or another form of acceptable identification when going through a TSA checkpoint can pay a fee to proceed through security.
The fee can be paid online before arriving at the airport.
The requirement is 20 years in the making, but with just weeks to go, not everyone is ready for it.
Beginning May 7th, a Real ID will be required for Nevadans to travel through airports, board all domestic flights, and secure entry into federal buildings.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has established Oct. 1, 2020 as the deadline when they will begin requiring those boarding an aircraft using a driver's license to have a Real ID license, according to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.
The Department of Motor Vehicles is now offering Nevadans a choice of which type of driver's license or identification card they may carry. Residents may choose between a “Real ID” compliant card and a standard card.
