New $45 Fee for Non-REAL ID Air Travelers in US

From February, U.S. air travelers without a REAL ID will face a $45 fee. The TSA announced this to encourage REAL ID adoption, as 94% of passengers are already compliant. The REAL ID, marked with a white star in a yellow circle, is a state-issued license with stricter federal requirements. Travelers without a REAL ID or accepted ID, like a passport, will pay this non-refundable fee for identity verification through the TSAs alternative Confirm dot ID system. DNN | The Daily News Now!
