With the May 7 federal deadline quickly approaching, now is the time for Arizona residents to secure their Arizona Travel ID for domestic air travel. The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (ADOT MVD) has already issued over 2.5 million Arizona Travel IDs, ensuring compliance with new TSA regulations.
Why You Need an Arizona Travel ID by May 7
Starting May 7, 2025, standard Arizona driver’s licenses will no longer be accepted at TSA airport security checkpoints. To board a domestic flight, travelers must present a federally compliant ID, such as:
- Arizona Travel ID (Distinguished by a star in the upper right corner)
- Valid U.S. Passport
- Other TSA-Approved Identification
Without one of these compliant forms of identification, you risk missing your flight.
How to Get an Arizona Travel ID
To obtain your Arizona Travel ID, you’ll need the following documents:
✔ Proof of Identity – A valid U.S. birth certificate or passport
✔ Social Security Number – Just the number, no card required
✔ Two Proofs of Arizona Residency – Examples include a rental agreement, bank statement, credit card bill, or cellphone bill with your current Arizona address
