Star Card

The deadline has been pushed back several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now it’s creeping up on us.

It is a new license that you need to have if you want to fly in a commercial airplane or go into Federal government buildings.

They’re the people who support the REAL ID.

The deadline to get the "Real ID" or the "Star Card" has been extended again. So if you are like me and have been procrastinating getting it, you have another almost 2 years to get it.

The star card will essentially replace your driver's license and the deadline to get it and still be able to do things like fly commercially is October 1st, 2021.

So go ahead and breathe easy knowing you can procrastinate even longer than you had originally planned to get your Idaho Star Card.

“Idahoans must have a passport or the Star Card in order to board a plane after October 1, 2020, and I strongly encourage everyone to get their Star Card with plenty of time ahead of the deadline,” Gov. Brad Little said.

The Idaho Transportation Department is launching a campaign to raise awareness about the Star Card program.
