Air travelers should check their driver’s licenses in the next few weeks to make sure they comply with federal regulations, or they may not be allowed to board a plane after May 7.

Without the Arizona Travel ID or other form of federally compliant identification such as a valid U.S. passport, travelers risk missing an airline flight, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

A gold star in the upper right corner of an Arizona Travel ID shows that the holder has met federal standards requiring extra documentation, which includes:

• Proof of identity: a birth certificate or U.S. passport.
• Social Security number: just the number, not the card.
• Two documents proving Arizona residency, such as rental or bank statements and credit card or cellphone bills in your name with your current Arizona address.

ADOT suggests scheduling an appointment at azmvdnow.gov. The Arizona Travel ID costs $25 and is valid for eight years. The new Arizona Travel ID card will arrive in the mail within 10-14 days.
