Missouri drivers license may not be accepted ID at KCI in 2018

Got a Missouri driver’s license? Beginning in January 2018, it may not be sufficient identification to board a commercial airplane.

Signs now posted at Kansas City International Airport warn passengers with Missouri driver’s licenses about a change beginning Jan. 22, 2018. At that time, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will start enforcing what’s known as REAL ID requirements at airport security checkpoints. Travelers seeking to use a state-issued driver’s license can only use such a document if it was issued by a REAL ID-compliant state or a non-compliant state with an extension.

Currently, Missouri is one of nine non-compliant states in the U.S. The others are Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Washington. Kansas is compliant.

Passengers may use an alternate form of identification such as a passport, military ID or permanent resident card. More information is available at TSA.gov.
