We look forward to welcoming you on board soon. Documents to travel to/from Hawai‘i and within the Hawaiian Islands are the same for any other U.S. state.
*Important REAL ID reminder: new ID requirements
Most U.S. travelers use their state driver’s license to clear airport TSA security checkpoints on domestic flights, although many forms of ID, including passports, are accepted. Beginning May 7, 2025, the TSA requires state driver’s licenses to be REAL ID compliant. Please note, even if you have TSA PreCheck, you will still need a REAL ID or other acceptable ID.
REAL ID-compliant cards are marked with a star or the word “enhanced” at the top of the card (example below). For state-specific information, including where to obtain a REAL ID, visit the DHS REAL ID website and click your state on the map.
Children and teenagers under 18 years of age do not need an ID when traveling with a companion who has a valid ID. However, we recommend that they travel with some form of ID, such as a school ID card. If you are traveling with a lap infant, we may ask for proof of the child’s age, so we recommend traveling with a copy of the birth certificate.
