REAL ID

Licenses with stars? Licenses with flags? Here's a breakdown of the differences between "Real IDs" and "Enhanced IDs" in the state of Michigan.

If your driver's license doesn't have a gold star on it, you may not be able to use it to get past the TSA checkpoints when you fly this year.

If you do not have a REAL ID card yet, you will need to apply for one in the next couple of years.
