REAL ID-compliant IDs are now needed to board federally regulated commercial aircrafts, and if you don't have one, a fee is in your future.

REAL ID-compliant IDs are now needed to board federally regulated commercial aircrafts, and if you don't have one, a fee is in your future.

The TSA announced Monday that fliers who don't have an acceptable REAL ID or passport can pay a $45 fee and use Confirm.ID to verify their identities.

TSA announced a new rule aimed at encouraging flyers to update their ID cards.

TSA officials said that paying the fee does not guarantee verification, and travelers whose identities cannot be verified may be turned away.
