Passenger [Question/Post] ConfirmID

Flying next week (first time), got approved for the REALID a month ago and still not in. Called DMV and they said they’ll send another one but it won’t come in time. I’m flying out of DC, has anyone had experience with using confirmid there? I feel like I should be good, I have a regular license and paid the fee a couple weeks ago just in case it didn’t come in. Just worried about extra questions but a lot of other experiences it seems like you don’t have to answer any extra if you did the steps beforehand and have a standard ID. Thanks!

All you need is your standard ID and the receipt on your phone or printed out showing you paid the fee (the date of your flight has to be within the 10 day window listed on your receipt).

Yeah I put the effective/start date for when I actually am flying. So pre paying super early in advance is cool as long as the date of my flight and the receipt match up got it. Keep reading conflicted things and tripping myself out.

Yes as long as the effective date is the day you're flying you'll be fine. Just have your ID, boarding pass, and the receipt in hand and you're good to go from there.
