Passengers without Real IDs can still fly if they pay a $45 fee, which covers the cost of additional identity verification screening.

The Transportation Security Administration is imposing a fee for travelers who try to fly without a Real ID or another acceptable form of identification.

NEW YORK (AP) — The deadline to get a REAL ID is almost here, after nearly two decades of postponements and delays. While it was initially said that you would not be able to fly domestically without a REAL ID or other TSA-approved form of identification ...

A deadline has come and gone for travelers who have been flying domestically without Real ID-compliant identification cards. That deadline finally arrived on Sunday, as travelers who don’t have the enhanced cards may have to pay a $45 fee before they can board their aircraft.

In an effort to help low-income residents obtain legal identification, the City of Morgantown will soon begin offering its own municipal ID cards.

Now, travelers might need to pay a fee to get through security. The new TSA policy that started on Feb. 1 requires travelers without a Real ID or a passport to pay a $45 fee to get their identity verified at security checkpoints.
