New York’s REAL ID law takes effect today, meaning travelers 18 and older must show a REAL ID-compliant license or another approved form of ID, like a passport, to pass through TSA checkpoints. Those without it can still fly but should expect delays and extra screening. TSA officials at Rochester’s airport are handling non-compliant travelers’ case by case and urge people to check requirements before flying. REAL IDs must be obtained in person at a New York DMV.
