Penndot to keep the "real identification days" as the execution time is approaching

Penndot works to make the process of obtaining a real ID, the improved driving license, which will soon be necessary for internal air travel, among others.

Throughout March, April and May, Penndot will host “Real Id Days”, weekly events at various centers in Philadelphia and all over the state, where residents can obtain a real identification driver before May 7.

Why is it important? Starting May 7, a real ID will be required to climb an internal commercial flight and for the federal or military buildings that require identification for the entrance. No real identification licenses are required to drive, vote or enter a federal building that does not currently require an ID to enter.

“As the weather begins to warm up, we know that many Pennsilvanians have made interesting travel plans,” said Secretary Penndot, Mike Carroll, in a press release. “With the federal application of the real ID starting May 7, your travel planning should include assurance that you have an appropriate ID to fly. If you want to continue using the driving license or photo card to fly internally, you will need to move on to a real ID if you haven’t done it already. “

If you have air travel plans for the end of spring or the beginning of summer, you probably want to jump on this as soon as possible, because there have already been reports on long lines at the DMV offices of the city.

Who needs a real ID?

Not everyone will have to come a real ID on May 7. Residents with US or foreign passport, US passport card, permanent resident card or American military ID can use that documentation rather a real ID to travel. Residents who intend to fly internally before the deadline in the Ministry of Defense will still be able to climb on their flights.

The “real identification days” started on February 24 and will continue until May 5 – two days before the deadline of May 7. The hours will start at 10 in the morning and will end at 14:00 Philadelphia residents have five such events – three in March and one in April and May – to get a real ID.

In order to receive a real ID, the residents must provide the proof of identity and legal status, the proof of a valid social security number and the proof of residence. Acceptable documents include a US birth certificate, a valid passport or a passport card, a social security card and a driving license or a Pennsylvania or a photo ID.

Behold A full list of acceptable documents.

What happens if I miss the documentation?

Those without birth certificate can reach their state office or from the Local Health Department to receive a new copy. If you cannot reach an office, a birth certificate can be ordered online. The fee for a certificate is $ 20, with an additional $ 10 processing fee added if ordered online.

Residents without a Social Security card did not necessarily need a replacement card if they have a document-such as a W-2-cu form of their social security on it. However, those who want a substitute can request a free one through the Social Security Administration.

If your name, the date of birth or gender designation is different from what is listed on the certificate, the legal proof must be shown.

Acceptable documents include:
