Creator's Key Takeaways

Real ID is being implemented tomorrow, May 7th, which means if you are flying domestically, you are going to need to have with you a Real ID or an enhanced ID from your state.

If you are going on a cruise, there is no need to have a real ID to go on a cruise.

My recommendation is to have your passport, make sure it's good for 6 months, and you are good to go.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use your passport for flying, even domestically, to avoid Real ID confusion.
✓Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months before cruising.
✓Wait to get your Real ID until after the initial implementation rush.
