TSA sets $45 fee for USA passengers without a REAL ID
The Transportation Security Administration has announced that U.S. air travelers without a REAL ID will face a $45 fee starting in February. The REAL ID has been required since May, but passengers without it have been allowed to clear security with extra screening. The Department of Homeland Security says 94% of passengers are already compliant. The new fee aims to encourage travelers to obtain a REAL ID, which requires more documentation than regular IDs. The fee is non-refundable and doesn't guarantee verification. Other accepted IDs include passports and military IDs. TSA also accepts digital IDs through platforms like Apple Wallet at participating airports.
