Here’s how you can determine if you possess a Real ID and what an Arizona Travel ID, which serves as the state’s variant of a Real ID, appears like.
What steps should I take to determine whether my ID meets the Real ID requirements?
The Arizona Travel ID – which complies with Real ID standards – can be identified from a regular driver’s license by a gold or black star located in the upper right corner. Beginning May 7th, you will need this gold or black star on your ID to successfully go through airport security checks or access federal facilities.
Many states’ Real IDs feature a solid golden or black star, or alternatively, a transparent star within a golden or black circle. In contrast, California’s Real ID includes a clear star set inside a golden bear, referencing their state flag where a grizzly bear stands above a tuft of grass.
State-issued credentials that have been recently granted but do not meet Real ID standards will be marked with the phrase, “Not for federal identification.”
