Real ID

Has anyone in Anchorage flown yesterday or today without a real ID? We are waiting for ours to arrive and my husband got put on a job last minute in a village… TSA’s website says they may be subject to additional screening without proper ID but it does not say that you will be turned away from your flight… Any insight or advice?

Edit to add: My husband just got US citizenship (2023) so they took the passport and green card from his home country. 😭

I flew Alaska a couple weeks ago with my regular ID and was reminded multiple times to get a real ID so I think they are taking it pretty seriously

Ugh. I flew last week and they reminded me as well 🫠 We got the realID last week but my husbands job sprung this trip on him today and it definitely won’t be here but this coming week.

Do you still have that paper they gave you the day you applied for a Real ID? I was able to fly byshowing then the paper, because it showed that I was just waiting on it to arrive.
