What is the new Travel ID?

The Arizona Travel ID is the credential that complies with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005. It is available as both a driver license and an identification card. There is a gold star embedded in the card to show that the cardholder has provided added proof of identification to ensure the license or ID meets strict federal requirements.

Note: Rules for international travel are unchanged, and a valid passport or its equivalent will be required to travel outside the United States.
