Pay a $45 fee to verify your identity using TSA’s new Confirm.ID system.
This $45 payment will cover you for up to 10 days of travel—but the process may cause long delays. So let’s break this down so you don’t get caught slipping at the checkpoint.
TSA Confirm ID is a new, modern identity verification process for travelers who don’t have the right ID.
If you walk up to TSA without an acceptable ID, they’ll send you straight to the Confirm.ID line. You can:
Pay online before your trip (recommended), or Pay at the airport (expect delays).
TSA will not accept temporary licenses or regular non-REAL ID driver’s licenses.
Here are IDs that will get you through security with no issues:
If you’re unsure whether your ID is REAL ID–ready, check the little star in the corner or confirm with your DMV.
TSA expects longer wait times for anyone using the Confirm.ID process — and yes, that could mean missing your flight.
More than 94% of travelers already have the right ID, so if you’re in that remaining 6%, now is the time to get prepared.
Save your coins, Sis.
If your ID isn’t REAL ID–compliant:
✨ Book a quick DMV appointment now
✨ Bring your required documents
✨ Get your REAL ID before 2026 hits
Or grab your passport — that counts too!
Starting February 1, 2026, if you don’t have an acceptable ID, TSA will still let you fly… but it’s going to cost you $45, extra time, and probably a headache.
