Number of Arizona Travel IDs now exceeds 2 millionDeadline is May 2025 if you wish to use state credential for travel
PHOENIX – With just under two years remaining before the federal deadline for domestic airline travelers to have a federally compliant ID, the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division has issued more than 2 million Arizona Travel ID cards. May 7, 2025, might feel a long way off, but it’ll be here quickly. So join the 2,013,187 – and counting – Arizonans who have already upgraded to the Arizona Travel ID.
As of the federal deadline, you will need a compliant credential like the Arizona Travel ID to get past Transportation Security Administration checkpoints at U.S. airports. Without the Arizona Travel ID or other form of compliant identification such as a valid U.S. passport, fliers risk missing an airline flight because the standard driver license will not be accepted at TSA checkpoints.
