The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is encouraging Californians to get their REAL ID online to travel within the United States starting in 2025. 

In California, nearly 15.5 million people have a REAL ID, an increase of 185,842 from the previous month, according to DMV data. 

In order to board flights within the United States and access secure federal facilities, not having a REAL ID or other federally approved documents to get through airport security could delay the bloom of your next big adventure. 

To apply for a REAL ID, Californians should be on the website, fill out the online application, and upload their documents. 

Customers need to provide: 

• Proof of identity* – One original or certified document (example: valid passport, birth certificate) *Legal name change document(s) is required if the name on proof of identity is different from the name on the other documents (example: marriage certificate, adoption papers).
• Proofs of California residency – Two documents, paper copies (example: utility bill, bank statement).
• Social Security number (exceptions may apply)
