Want to fly? You may need to upgrade your driver's license [View all]
SEATTLE – Washington state residents may need to upgrade to an enhanced driver’s license or carry their passport if they want to make it through airport security sometime next year – even if they are flying domestically.
The Transportation Security Administration has not said when the rule will go into effect, but will provide at least four months notice when passengers will need to provide more than a Washington state driver's license.
The issue is more relevant now for people trying to get onto a military base or into other federal facilities. Anyone with a standard Washington driver's license is advised to call ahead to those locations.
This all stems from a dispute between the federal government and Washington state over proof of residency. Washington is one of only two states that doesn’t require proof someone is a legal U.S. resident in order to obtain a driver’s license.
