New Level Travel Group

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has mandated that U.S. travelers be REAL ID-compliant by May 3, 2023 to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities. That deadline may seem far away. However, as a travel advisor, part of your role and ethical obligation is to anticipate your clients’ travel needs and requirements, such as passports, vaccinations, and so on. The REAL ID is one of those requirements.
Take the time now to understand what the REAL ID is and educate your clients on the requirements. This is just one more way you can showcase your value to your clients. One idea is to schedule a Zoom night or record a video for your clients that explains which documents clients must gather and where they should go to apply for a REAL ID card.

REAL ID The REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act’s minimum standards.
