that much more critical for domes-
tic travelers who don’t already have
a valid passport to get their RealID
soon.
“A year may sound like a long
time, but it isn’t when it comes to
issuing secure identification such
as driver licenses, ID cards and
passports,” DMV Administrator
Amy Joyce said. “It can take weeks
to gather the documents you need
to qualify for a type of ID that the
TSA will accept at airports.”
You must apply for a RealID in
person and there is a $30 RealID fee
in addition to the regular renewal
sudoku
and replacement fee assessed when
a new license is issued. Only spe-
cific documents are acceptable for
the RealID application – details can
be found at Oregon.gov/RealID.
“You may already have the ID
you need for air travel,” Joyce said.
“But if you don’t, please act now –
get or renew your passport, or add
the Real ID option to your Oregon
license or ID card. Oregon DMV
offices are already very busy, but
they will get busier in 2023 because
of Real ID.”
The Keizer Fire District and the
Mid-Valley Car Seat Safety Coalition
will hold a car seat clinic on Tuesday,
May 10.
While the event is free, appoint-
ments are required. Appointment
start times run from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
During the 20-minute appoint-
ments, caregivers will be instructed
on how to properly install the seat
in their vehicle and how to safely
restrain the child in the seat.
Seats will also be checked for
expirations and safety recalls, issues
that Deputy Fire Marshall Anne-
Marie Storms said they come across.
Other common problems, accord-
ing to Storms, are children too big or
small for the specific seat, the seat
being installed too loose and trying
to move a child to a booster seat
before they are mentally or physi-
cally ready.
Appointments are still avail-
able, but limited. To schedule an
appointment call 503-390-9111.

Beginning in May of next year,
a standard Oregon driver’s license
or identification card will no lon-
ger be accepted at airport security
checkpoints or terminals across
the country. In order to fly, pas-
sengers without a valid passport
or accepted form of federal iden-
tification must present a RealID-
compliant driver’s license, instead.
The new requirement is part of
the RealID Act passed by Congress
in 2005. The Act established
minimum security standards for
state-issued driver’s licenses and
identification cards and prohib-
its certain federal agencies from
accepting licenses and identifica-
tion cards from states that do not
meet these standards.
“If there is even a tiny chance
you will need to travel by air in
the future, don’t wait until 2023 to
make sure your ID is ready to fly,”
read a recent public announcement
by Oregon Department of Motor
Vehicles. “What if you get a sud-
den wedding invitation? Or the sad
news of a funeral?”
RealIDs can be obtained at any
DMV, and the US State Department
is experiencing a backlog in pro-
cessing applications for passports
and federal ID – which makes it
