Do I really need a Real ID starting on May 7th?

✅ With a Real ID, You CAN:

  • Board domestic flights within the U.S.
  • Access secure federal buildings (e.g., courthouses, military bases)
  • Use as legal identification for most state and federal purposes

❌ Without a Real ID, You CANNOT:

  • Board domestic flights starting May 7, 2025 (unless you have a passport or other TSA-approved ID)
  • Enter certain federal facilities
  • Use a standard driver’s license as federally accepted ID

A Real ID Does NOT:

  • Replace your passport for international travel
  • Impact your ability to vote
  • Expand your driving privileges
  • Act as a work visa or green card

Don't Have a Real ID?

You can still fly or access federal buildings with:

  • A valid U.S. Passport
  • Military ID
  • DHS Trusted Traveler Card
  • Green Card

Real ID

FastPass can issue your credentials now, although you will not need to be Real ID-compliant for air travel until May 7, 2025. After May 7, 2025, visitors 18 years and older seeking access to military bases, federal facilities, and any form of travel must have a driver’s license, state issued identification card or passport that is Real ID compliant. Simply bring proof of identity, date of birth, and lawful status.

How do I get a Louisiana State ID?

Secondary Identification Card (ID) Issuance (17 and older)

Do you need a secondary ID? Do you have a block/flag or suspension and need a form of ID while you work on clearing your record? With a Louisiana Driver’s License on record, we can issue a first-time Louisiana State ID in minutes.

First-Time Identification Card (ID) Issuance

If you do not have a Louisiana Driver’s License on record, you’ll have to visit a Louisiana OMV office to obtain one.      

  • Applicants 16 and under required documents presented by the minor and the parent or guardian, and signature of parent or legal guardian.
  • Applicants 15 years of age and younger have an option of a 2 year or 4 year issuance period under the Protect and Save our Children Program.

Renewals

When your Louisiana State ID expires, the fastest and easiest way to renew it is by visiting FastPass Tag & Title. Smile for the camera! Most people are in and out with their renewed ID in under 15 minutes.

Duplicates

Lost your Louisiana State ID? Don’t worry, at FastPass Tag & Title we can print a duplicate Louisiana State ID in minutes. Smile big for your new photo knowing the time you just saved at FastPass.

Name Change

Were you married, divorced, or have you otherwise legally changed your name? FastPass Tag & Title can assist with updating your ID in two simple steps.

First, you must visit the Social Security Administration Office to update your name. Second, wait 24 hours then bring us the letter they issue to you confirming the change along with a certified copy of the official name change document (Usually divorce decree or birth certificate; marriage license; or court order)..

If you have both a Driver’s License and State ID, you must change your name on both or cancel one.

Change of Address

Did you recently move from one address in Louisiana to another address in Louisiana? It is important to update your address on your Driver’s License. You can be cited for an incorrect address on your Driver’s License.

FastPass Tag & Title can update the Louisiana address on your Driver’s License in just a few minutes. Bring your proof of insurance (if you own a vehicle), two proofs of residency, and get ready to smile for your new picture that you will love.

Please note, all changes of address must be accompanied by two proofs of residency.

Endorsements

FastPass can add the following endorsements to your Identification Card:

Autism – Must submit Medical Examiner’s Certificate of Autism Spectrum Disorder form.

Blood Type – Add your blood type to your ID Card. This can help in case of emergency to allow medical staff to jump into action.

Veteran – We are always ready to support our Veterans! If you want to add the Veterans indicator on your State Identification Card, you just need one proof of discharge paperwork from military.

Walk-ins welcome, but we take appointments too!

You’ll leave FastPass with that Fast Lane Feeling, accomplished but also calm and relaxed. We are committed to making the entire process easy and effective.

A No Insurance (NI) Flag is placed on your license when the State of Louisiana is notified that your vehicle insurance has lapsed or been canceled. Insurance providers send these notifications electronically to the state. This happens often in error if you’ve recently switched insurance companies. We’ll research the cause, explain the issue, and guide you in collecting any required documents to help clear the flag and avoid unnecessary penalties.

 

We are here to help! Give us a call or stop by at one of our locations. We will research the issue to determine why the flag was placed on your record. If it's an error, we’ll guide you through the steps to remove it without paying unnecessary fines to the Office of Motor Vehicles. We’ll also help you gather any required documents to resolve it.
