Idahoans Have 7 Months To Get New Star Card ID Before Deadline
Whenever I hear I have seven months to complete a task I say, I ll do that later, I have seven months to take care of it. Then six months later I m scrambling to get the task done. I know I m not alone in this which is why I m urging you as a fellow procrastinator to upgrade your government issued IDs sooner rather than later.
The deadline for Idahoans to get the Star Card, Idaho s REAL ID is October 1st, 2021. The deadline was extended another year due to COVID-19. It s important to note that getting a Star Card is not mandatory however if you plan on flying anytime ever, a Star Card, U.S. passport, military ID or another form of REAL ID will be required to board a commercial flight or enter any federal facility.
BOISE â Seven months ahead of the federally mandated deadline, the Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles continues to raise awareness of the importance of obtaining a Star Card - Idahoâs REAL ID. Beginning Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will require a Star Card, U.S. passport, military ID, or other REAL ID compliant identification, to board a commercial flight and enter a federal facility.

Our goal is 100% awareness, so no one is unexpectedly forced to miss a vacation or unplanned, last minute trip this fall.â
