Apr 10, 2019 If you don’t have a gold star on your driver license, you may have trouble getting on a flight next year. The star indicates your license is Real ID compliant. The Real ID Act became effective. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) offers the Military Gold Sportsman's License to active duty and retired members of the United States Armed Forces, the United States Armed Forces Reserve, the Florida National Guard, the United States Coast Guard or the United States Coast Guard Reserve that are stationed in Florida or claim Florida as their primary residence. If you do not have a gold star on your license it may be tempting to wait, since there is no penalty for not having one. However, according to the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, starting. The easiest way to check for Real ID compliance is to look at your most current driver license or identification card and see if you have a gold star located in the upper right corner next to the image of the state of Florida (see sample image). If you are already Real ID compliant it means you do not have to present any documents unless you.
When you were little, a gold star was a reward and a symbol of doing a good job. Now that you are grown up, “good” boys and girls who verify their identity—and are in a facial recognition database—get REAL ID gold stars on their driver’s licenses. For those people, nothing will change when dealing with the TSA. But in April, will people from “bad” states, without a gold star on their driver’s license, need a backup “approved” ID like a passport to board a plane that never leaves America?
So that must mean there is no identity theft in the DHS-certified-as-REAL-ID-compliant states? Whoops, Houston, we seem to have a problem, as “REAL ID” hasn’t killed the identity theft bogeyman. In fact, according to the FTC’s last Consumer Sentinel Network report, the top 10 states where identity theft runs rampant are: 1) Florida, 2) Georgia, 3) California, 4) Michigan, 5) New York, 6) Nevada, 7) Texas, 8) Arizona, 9) Maryland and 10) Alabama. But only New York and Arizona are listed among the states that do not meet the law’s “REAL ID” standards.
REAL ID was supposed to go into effect in May 2008, but the government has delayed enforcing it four different times. Right now, “Alaska, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma and Washington state do not currently meet the law's standards, according to DHS. Another 15 states do not yet meet the requirements but have asked the federal government for more time to do so. They all have extensions through October and can renew those extensions.”
AxXiom for Liberty’s Kaye Beach, who has written tirelessly about Real ID and RFID, previously explained, “Under REAL ID, licenses are to be machine readable and contain biometric data (including facial biometrics). This and other information is to be shared nationally and internationally.”
Aug 11, 2013 The gold star indicates 'material compliance' with REAL ID act of 2005, while the gold circle with a star cut out indicates 'full compliance'. Older driver's licenses would have the gold star.

Around the same time, Brian Zimmer, president of the Coalition for a Secure Driver's License (CSDL) warned that, “People who obtain non-compliant driver's licenses need to know that they will have to provide other acceptable IDs, such as passports, to get through security screening at the airports.'
Stopping terrorists from obtaining driver’s licenses was supposedly why Congress passed the REAL ID Act nearly a decade ago. Yet in a report last year, CSDL Director of Research Max Bluestein said, 'The al-Qaeda training manual explicitly instructs operatives to obtain fake IDs - a key part of the process of their attacks. This directive was followed by the 9/11 terrorists and these documents continue to play a crucial operational role in many of the 60 major terrorist plots uncovered since.'
60? NSA Chief General Keith Alexander claimed “54” or “more than 50” potential terrorist events had been thwarted by government surveillance since 9/11; he later admitted that only 13 were even related to the U.S. and only “one, perhaps two were halted by business records collections.” It’s important to point out that despite being privy to classified NSA metadata surveillance program material, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board testified [pdf], “We are aware of no instance in which the program directly contributed to the discovery of a previously unknown terrorist plot or the disruption of a terrorist attack.'
Gold Star On Texas Driver's License Means
Equating not having a REAL ID driver’s license to potentially having a fake ID to carry out terrorism is a stretch. 13 states don’t have REAL ID, so is the TSA going to stop people without a gold star on their driver’s license from boarding a plane? 'Nobody has ever done this before,” Zimmer recently admitted, “so enforcing this law is going to be a major challenge.'
In April, the law kicks in, so I guess we’ll find out if the TSA will require a passport in lieu of a REAL ID driver’s license. But ACLU attorney Chris Calabrese said, 'It is impossible to imagine DHS keeping the citizens of any of those states off of airplanes.”
USA Today reported that residents living in holdout states will really face consequences 'sometime after 2016,' as 'they will no longer be able to board commercial aircraft with only their driver's license.'
It seems as ridiculous as submitting to TSA security pat-downs that Americans would need a passport to board a plane that never leaves the USA and might not even leave the state in which the flight originated. In fact, it brings to mind a time when the TSA had plans to track all daily travel regardless of if it was to work, to the grocery store, or to social events.
Two years ago, senior policy analyst at the Center for Health and Homeland Security Vernon R. Herron told MSNBC:
that your official travel document 'will not only have information as to who you are and where you have traveled, but it will also .. allow government officials to track your travel not only in the air, but your daily travels to work, grocery stores and social events.' In the future the 'government will detain passengers who have traveled to places that are suspicious in nature' once they enter an airport, Herron added. 'All these measures seem extreme. However, after we declared a war on terror, we must be more proactive than reactive when it comes to airport security.'
That seemed fairly unrealistic at the time. But now .. who knows? Once upon a time, Homeland Security was also testing mind-reading terrorist 'pre-crime' detectors.
Star ID
“Secure, Trusted, And Reliable,” STAR ID is part of a nationwide effort to improve the integrity and security of state-issued driver licenses and identification cards, which, in turn, will help fight terrorism and reduce fraud.
In response to acts of terrorism committed against the United States, and in an effort to ensure the safety of citizens, Congress passed the REAL-ID Act of 2005, modifying federal laws pertaining to security, authentication and issuance procedure standards for state driver licenses and identification cards. In order to comply with the requirements of this federal legislation, the Alabama Department of Public Safety has developed the STAR ID program.
Yes, Alabama began a STAR I.D. pilot project in central Alabama Oct. 3, 2011, in the Driver License examining offices in Montgomery, Autauga and Chilton counties, and began issuing STAR I.D. statewide in early 2012.
Beginning October 1, 2020, all domestic flights will require flyers to hold a STAR ID or possess a passport. To see a list of all accepted documents visit TSA. Some military installations are currently requiring a STAR ID to obtain access, it will depend on the facility.
You will need documents to establish your identity, date of birth, authorized presence in the United States and address of principal residence: Documents to verify identity and date of birth For U.S. Citizens:
Valid, unexpired U.S. passport
Original or certified copy of birth certificate
Consular Report of Birth Abroad
Certificate of Naturalization issued by Department of Homeland Security
Certificate of Citizenship issued by DHS
For cases where the current name and the name on the primary identity document are different, you should also bring:
Valid Passport for non-immigrants except for asylum applicants and refugees
Other government issued document showing your full name
Department of Homeland Security document showing proof of lawful presence
If your name has changed by marriage/divorce, you must have your name changed on your Citizen and Immigration Services (CIS) documents.
Both Citizens and Non-Citizens will need to bring:
Your Social Security Card
Two documents that show your principal residence
No, expected changes will be minor. STAR ID will have a gold star in the upper left corner to make them easily recognizable as Real-ID compliant.
No, the final rule specifies that each individual can hold either a STAR ID driver license or a STAR ID identification card, but not both simultaneously. If you currently hold both, one will be cancelled during your next card issuance.
No, STAR ID is available only at the ALEA Driver License examining offices. There are offices located statewide
Starting October 1, 2020, every air traveler will need to present a REAL ID-compliant license or another acceptable form of identification for domestic air travel. A REAL ID compliant license is one that meets and is issued by a state which complies with, the REAL ID Act’s security standards. Please see TSA’s list of acceptable forms of identification. Passengers who have licenses issued by a state that is compliant or that has an extension to become compliant with REAL ID requirements may continue to use their licenses as usual. For a list of states already in compliance or with an extension visit DHS’s REAL ID. DHS continually updates this list as more states come into compliance or obtain extensions.
If you present utility bills to verify the address of your principal residence, and those bills are in your spouse's name, you must bring your marriage certificate. If utility bills are in your parent's name, you may use your birth certificate.
