(Pittsburgh, PA) There are only two months left to get a real ID in Pennsylvania. The Shapiro administration is reminding Pennsylvanians to get one before the deadline on May 7th, 2025 to go on a domestic commercial flight after that date. PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll spoke at the Pittsburgh International Airport on Thursday and emphasized that you must have a passport to get on one of these flights if you do not have a real ID. According to Carroll, a gold star on a license can also be an option to fly without a real ID. However, Carroll emphasized that one of the PennDOT real ID centers can be an easy way to get in and out with a real ID. Carroll also commented that you also need proofs of both address and identity to get one at a PennDOT Driver’s License Center. You can visit any of these links below to for more information about real IDs and the locations for both the PennDot Real ID Centers and the PennDOT Driver’s License Centers here in Pennsylvania.
