Make sure you’re REAL ID ready by May 7, 2025
HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) reminds domestic travelers that on May 7, 2025, you must have a REAL ID or acceptable alternative to avoid delays at the security checkpoints at the airport.
State-issued REAL ID-compliant credentials must be marked with one of the following:
- A star in a circle
- A flag
- Or the text “Enhanced”
Alternatives to a state-issued REAL ID credential include:
- U.S. passport
- U.S. passport card
- U.S. Department of Homeland Security trusted traveler cards
- U.S. Department of Defense ID
- Permanent resident card
A full list of acceptable credentials is available online at https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification
Approximately 96% of all driver’s licenses and state IDs issued in Hawai‘i are REAL ID Gold Star-compliant. Those without a star in a circle on their driver’s license or state ID are encouraged to make an appointment through their county to obtain one.
