No. Starting May 7, 2025, passengers who have driver’s licenses issued by a state that is not yet compliant with REAL ID will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel. Please see TSA’s website for a list of acceptable forms of identification. Passengers who have licenses issued by a state that is compliant or that has an extension to become compliant with REAL ID requirements may continue to use their licenses as usual. For information on obtaining a REAL ID in Minnesota, please visit the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's website.
The 3-1-1 rule is still in effect. This means liquids and gels can be brought on board only if you:
- Package them in containers that have a 3-ounce or smaller capacity
- Place them in a 1 quart-sized zip-top plastic bag
- Bring only 1 quart-sized bag per traveler
The plastic bag must be taken out of your luggage for screening. For additional information about traveling with liquids and gels, visit the Travel Tips page on TSA's website.
The standard carry-on bag size is 45 total inches. To determine your bag's size, measure the width, depth and length and then add those measurements together. Please check with your airline, as they may have stricter carry-on luggage policies. Passengers are generally allowed one piece of carry-on luggage and one smaller item, such as a purse, laptop bag or briefcase.

Children ages 2 to 17 traveling domestically do not need identification. Everyone who flies to locations outside the United States, regardless of age, is required to have a passport. Children under the age of 2, who are sharing a seat with an adult, need to show proof of age.
