Do you need a star on your license to fly into Pennsylvania?.Here is a great video on it from the Department of Homeland Security.A complying license will have a star on it.
This law means that your driver’s license MUST comply with TSA’s requirements for you to fly domestically. Most people use their license to get through security on domestic flights though. Other documents that people will be able to use are their passports or their U.S. However, according to a law called the REAL ID Act, air travelers in the United States will be required to use a driver’s license that complies with the Real ID requirements when traveling within the United States of America beginning May 3rd, 2023. For domestic flights, a state-issued document like a driver’s license is all you need to fly. Not everyone in Pennsylvania has a passport, especially if they don’t travel internationally. For federal purposes, this identification will not be able to be used. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has stated that those without a star on their cards can continue to use their cards after May 3, 2023, but they will only be accepted for state-related purposes like driving, accessing hospitals, visiting the post office, applying for or receiving social security or veterans’ benefits, or banking transactions. This is an extension from the original October 2021 date due to the COVID pandemic.ĭepartment of Homeland Security’s Alejandro Mayorkas recently stated, “Extending the Real ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver’s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a Real ID-compliant license or identification card.”
