  1. Obtain a concourse security pass. 
  2. Present an acceptable REAL ID-compliant form of identification, such as a valid passport. Please note that not all state-issued ID cards are REAL ID compliant
  3. Complete screening at a TSA checkpoint.
Identification requirements 

Effective Feb. 1, 2026, individuals who do not present an acceptable form of REAL ID at TSA checkpoints may use TSA ConfirmID to attempt to verify their identity Verification is not guaranteed.

TSA ConfirmID is a fee-based service operated by the federal government. It is designed to enhance security and streamline the verification process for people without a REAL ID that require access through TSA security checkpoints. TSA ConfirmID ensures compliance with federal security standards.

Plan ahead: Time considerations 

Remember to give yourself time to park, obtain a security pass, verify your REAL ID-compliant identification and complete security screening prior to the meeting.

Depending on demand, obtaining a security pass generally takes less than five minutes if you present a REAL ID-compliant identification.

If you do not have an acceptable form of ID, the TSA ConfirmID process may take 30 to 45 minutes. TSA ConfirmID costs $45, and the MAC will cover this cost for up to three meetings.
