Secretary of state illinois

The end of this month was supposed to mark the beginning of a new era for Illinoisans making their way through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints at airports.

Federal Real ID requirements were previously scheduled to go into effect on Oct.

1. However, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline was extended.

Now, those who typically rely on their standard Illinois driver’s license or ID card to fly within the United States will have until May 3, 2023, to update their state-issued license or identification to one that is Real ID compliant.

With that in mind, here are five things you should know about Illinois driver’s licenses, state-issued identification cards and Real IDs as we move forward.

Your expired card may still be valid

Those who have an Illinois driver’s license, instruction permit or identification card with an expiration date between Jan. 1, 2020 and Dec.

31, 2021 can hold on to it through the end of the year.
