Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV)

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has extended the REAL ID enforcement date from May 3, 2023 to May 7, 2025.

Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID compliant driver’s license or identification card, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification, for domestic air travel and to enter certain federal facilities.  For the complete list of required documentation click here.

You can save time at an RMV Service Center by starting any driver's license or ID transaction online. Customers who already have a full-term REAL ID are eligible to renew online up to a year in advance of their expiration date.
