Overview
- Passengers without a REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification will be directed to the optional ConfirmID verification before entering security at North Carolina airports.
- Officials urge travelers to prepay the $45 online and bring a digital or printed receipt along with another form of ID to help reduce delays.
- A single ConfirmID payment validates identity for up to 10 days, enabling both outbound and return flights within that period to be covered.
- TSA expects longer checkpoint wait times for travelers who use ConfirmID once the requirement begins.
- North Carolina’s DMV reports more than 5 million residents, about 58%, already hold a REAL ID as offices increase access for applicants.
