USTOA Helps Travelers Understand REAL ID
Comedian Harrison Greenbaum Explains REAL ID in 60 Seconds
This Isn't Fake, This Is Real; Do You Have REAL ID?
NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With an October 1, 2020 deadline looming for travelers to possess a REAL ID compliant travel document, the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) has compiled a simple tool kit for travelers.
Many states in the U.S. have only recently began issuing compliant licenses and state identification cards, which means that travelers may still hold a non-REAL ID compliant license that will not suffice for domestic air travel. Most recently, the Department of Homeland Security has made the decision to allow electronic submissions of the documents that are required to obtain a REAL ID, a positive step ahead of the deadline.
To lighten the mood and creatively share this information, USTOA partnered with comedian Harrison Greenbaum, who hilariously attempts to explain REAL ID in a 60 second video. Travelers can watch (and learn) by visiting youtube.com/USTOA.
"Travelers can also learn more about REAL ID by visiting the USTOA Travel Blog, which is constantly being updated with stories and tips from industry professionals," said Terry Dale, president and CEO of USTOA. "Plus, with everything from passport and visa advice, to packing secrets and trip inspiration, it's a helpful resource to stay up to date and continue learning."
