If you’ve yet to get your state-issued and REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, you may want to schedule a trip to the DMV to avoid a new fee when traveling from the Tri-Cities Airport or other airport. 

Starting on Feb. 1, passengers who attempt to go through an airport’s security without proper identification will be referred to a new identity verification option called TSA Confirm.ID, which requires a $45 fee to cover a 10-day travel period, according to a release. 

Travelers can also register and pay the fee before they arrive at the airport to streamline the security screening process. 

Other REAL ID-compliant forms of identification, such as a U.S. passport or U.S. Department of Defense ID cards, including those for dependents, will continue to be accepted. 

“PSC strongly encourages all travelers to ensure they have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, identification card, or another acceptable form of identification before arriving at the airport to avoid delays and additional costs,” read a statement from the Tri-Cities Airport.
