COLUMBUS — The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles is reminding Ohioans that less than one year remains until the Real ID deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective May 3, 2023, the state-issued identification that airline passengers present at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening checkpoints for boarding a commercial airline must be Real ID compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSA will require a federally-compliant driver license, identification card, or other acceptable form of identification such as a U.S. passport or military ID to fly within the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo date, only 46 percent of Ohioans have their compliant driver\u2019s license,\u201d said Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) Registrar Charlie Norman. \u201cWe want to continue to encourage all Ohioans to obtain their complaint driver\u2019s license before the 2023 deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To obtain the federally compliant driver\u2019s license\/identification card through the Ohio BMV, residents will need to provide documents that prove the following: full legal name, date of birth, social security number, two proofs of Ohio residency, and proof of legal presence. If the resident\u2019s name has changed and is not the same as what is listed on their birth certificate, they will need to provide proof of name change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohioans can use the BMV\u2019s interactive acceptable documents checklist to help determine the specific documents they will need to take with them to obtain their driver’s license\/ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In addition, Ohio residents are encouraged to take advantage of the \u201cGet in Line, Online\u201d virtual queuing system, which allows them to advance in their BMV office\u2019s queue without physically waiting in the office. After checking in online, applicants have a four-hour window to arrive at the deputy registrar location, check in at a self-service kiosk, and claim their spot in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at the deputy registrar, the customer’s current driver license or ID card will be perforated to visually indicate the person is in the process of receiving the new driver\u2019s license\/ID card. Driver\u2019s licenses\/IDs are now printed at a secure, central location, so the customer will leave with the perforated card and a paper Ohio interim document stating their information, photo, and signature. Customers must carry this paper document, along with the perforated card, until their new driver\u2019s license\/ID card arrives in the mail. The new driver\u2019s license\/ID will arrive in a plain white envelope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
