"On November 20, TSA said in a notice posted in the Federal Register that travelers could face an $18 fee if they did not have REAL ID but officials in a briefing with reporters said that they had raised the price because expenses for the option were higher than forecast.
The fees are nonrefundable and it may take travelers up to 30 minutes to pay the fee to go through security if they fail to pay before arriving at the airport. Officials said in extraordinary circumstances they could waive the fees.
Children under 18 do not have to present an ID at an airport checkpoint. Most travelers use state-government-issued driver’s licenses that meet the requirements but passports issued by any government are also an acceptable form of ID as are other forms of IDs, opens new tab including permanent resident cards, Department of Defense IDs, DHS trusted traveler cards and others."
TSA will charge $45 fee for air passengers without REAL IDs
The fee, which will cover travel for a 10-day period, will go into effect in February as part of an effort to encourage travelers to get the enhanced identity documents.
