Creator's Key Takeaways

The Transportation and Security Administration, TSA, you know, the security people at the airport, recently announced that starting February 1st, you must be Real ID compliant or you may have to pay an additional fee to have your identification verified.

If they can't verify your identification, you will simply be denied boarding.

This new program is called TSA Confirmed. ID.

Travelers who require verification because they don't have a Real ID or another acceptable form of identification, such as a passport, must get verified at a new kiosk that will be available at the airport.
