Louisiana residents must apply for a REAL ID by May 7, 2025, for domestic air travel and accessing federal buildings. REAL IDs require a birth certificate, passport, and two proofs of address but do not incur extra costs. Only 26% of Louisiana's IDs are compliant; the Office of Motor Vehicles urges residents to book appointments online. Passports remain an acceptable alternative but may cause delays.
