News & Updates
Maine State IDs & the Real ID Act
Due to the circumstances resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) extended the deadline for REAL ID until May 3, 2025. Beginning in May 2025, DHS will require customers to use a REAL ID to fly domestically. The most common REAL ID is a state-issued driver's license.

For more information on REAL ID, go to DHS website.
