DO I NEED REAL ID?
You are not required to get an Oklahoma REAL ID compliant license or identification card; however, if you plan to fly domestically or access federal facilities or military bases after
May 3, 2023, you must have a REAL ID compliant license or identification card or another acceptable form of identification such as a passport or passport card. If you already have your passport, we suggest waiting to get your REAL ID compliant license when your current license expires. Here are some reasons why choosing to upgrade your Oklahoma license
or identification card to REAL ID makes you a real star…
CHOICE
You can choose if the REAL ID star is right for you, but the star on the card makes life easier!
ACCESS
The REAL ID star will give you easy, no-hassle access to domestic flights and federal facilities.
SECURITY
An ID with a
REAL ID star represents an identity that is protected.

WHAT IS A REAL ID?
Oklahoma credentials already provide a high level of identity security and fraud deterrence. The only physical difference with non-compliant driver licenses and identification cards will be not having a star in the upper right-hand corner.

CREDENTIAL
REAL ID compliant driver licenses and identification cards have a gold star in the upper right-hand corner of the license to indicate it is REAL ID compliant.
