AAA is your neighborhood Rhode Island DMV

Effective October 1, 2021, a new federal law goes into effect requiring a new type of identification – REAL ID – for anyone 18 years and older flying within the United States or entering a Federal building that requires identification.

After 10/1/21, a standard license or state-issued ID will NOT be acceptable to pass through domestic airport security checkpoints. You will need the REAL ID endorsement or another acceptable form of identification, such as a valid passport, federal government PIV card, or US military ID.

REAL ID endorsements for a RI Driver’s License or RI State ID can be processed at AAA branch locations for AAA members only, but you will need to present certain documents to prove your identity. All Rhode Island members interested in obtaining a REAL ID should refer to the Rhode Island DMV website for complete information, download the application, and see a list of acceptable documents. http://www.dmv.ri.gov/realid/
