Don't have a REAL ID or acceptable for of ID?

 

How might this impact your travel from State College Regional Airport?

  • Starting Feb. 1, 2026, TSA will enforce REAL ID requirements at security checkpoints nationwide.

  • At the State College Regional Airport (just like any U.S. airport), TSA will require travelers to present acceptable ID to fly.

  • If a passenger arrives without one, they’ll be directed into TSA Confirm.ID — which means extra processing, a wait (possibly 10–30 minutes or more), and a $45 fee before being allowed through.

  • The best way to avoid delays and extra cost? Bring an acceptable ID (REAL ID or passport) when you travel.

  • Please follow the link below to TSA.gov and learn how you can prepare so as to avoid extra delays when traveling.
