Real ID scams warning as May 7, 2025 deadline approaches for situations that require Real ID

People aren't required to have a Real ID, unless they will be flying, visiting a military base or secure federal facility.

After May 7, 2025 regular IDs will remain valid for driving, voting, general identification purposes, entering some state or federal properties and receiving state or federal services.

The Better Business Bureau is warning people to beware of identity theft scams that take advantage of the approaching deadline, either by taking advantage of people that actually need a Real ID by May 7, 2025 or by tricking people into believing they need a Real ID even though they don't need a Real ID.
