Idaho Transportation Department officials are urging Idahoans to obtain a REAL ID-compliant Idaho Star Card before enforcement begins at airport security checkpoints May 7. Starting May 7, Transportation Security Administration officers will no longer accept state-issued IDs that are not REAL ID compliant,

It's a driver's license or other state-issued ID that meets security requirements mandated in a 2005 law passed in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Obtaining an ID with the designation — indicated by a white star in a yellow circle in most states — means taking more documents to the motor vehicle agency than most states require for regular IDs.
