REAL ID
Posted date : May 21, 2025.
I have been reading that, as of May 7, all travellers in the U.S. will have to carry something called a REAL ID compliant card. For the benefit of myself and all of your members, can you publish something that explains what this card is and how do we go about obtaining one?

Ed.: The REAL ID card is not for Canadians. It is a federally recognized form of identification with enhanced security features for full-time American residents that can be used for domestic air travel and other purposes. As a Canadian, your “real ID” is your passport.
