SUMMARY: Starting today, a Real ID is required to fly domestically or enter federal buildings, a security measure enforced after 15 years. At the Mount Pleasant DMV, reactions are mixed. Some got their Real IDs years ago, others are only now applying amid long lines and multiple visits. Some people support the safety benefits of the new requirement, while others find the extra step frustrating. TSA officials clarified this day marks the start of enforcement, not a hard deadline, allowing travelers to use other IDs like passports. Those not traveling soon can still obtain their Real ID later.

Starting Wednesday, a REAL ID will be required to fly domestically or enter federal buildings. It’s a security measure that officials have tried to enforce in the past, but has been delayed for years.
