Starting May 7, 2025, the REAL ID Act is fully in effect — and it applies to all flights, including private jet travel with Sofar.
Even if you're flying from a private terminal (FBO), TSA regulations require every passenger over 18 to present a REAL ID-compliant form of identification before boarding.
To ensure a smooth check-in, please bring one of the following:
REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state ID
U.S. passport or passport card
Military ID
Trusted Traveler Program card (Global Entry, etc.)
Enhanced Driver’s License (MI, MN, NY, VT, WA)
🚨 Important: The name on your ID must match your reservation exactly.
Check your driver’s license. If it has a star or special symbol, you’re likely good to go. If not, you’ll need to use your passport or another approved ID.
You can also visit your local DMV to upgrade to a REAL ID. It’s fast and secure — and ensures you're ready for takeoff.
At Sofar, we’re here to make your journey as smooth as possible.
🛫 Just reach out to our team at HQ@flysofar.com before your flight, and we’ll help you prepare.
Let’s fly — make it anywhere.
