REAL ID, Passport and Documents for Delta Check-In
REAL ID, Passport and Documents for Delta Check-In: What to Bring
The wrong or missing ID is one of the easiest ways to slow down your trip. Here is a simple guide.
Domestic flights within the US
You generally need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID, or another accepted document such as a passport. Check the rules for your situation before you travel.
International flights
- A valid passport is required
- A visa or travel authorization may be needed, depending on your destination
- Make sure your passport has enough validity for your trip
Name matching
The name on your ticket should match your ID or passport. A mismatch can block online check-in or cause problems at the airport.
Children and infants
Check what documents are needed for minors and lap infants, especially on international trips.
Tips
- Keep documents in one pouch.
- Check expiry dates before booking.
- Carry a backup copy in your email or phone.
- Arrive earlier if documents need to be checked at the counter.
Final thoughts
Prepare your documents the night before and check in online early, so any issue can be fixed before airport day.
