00:00Heard that TSA charges $45 for Real ID. Let's break down what's actually true.
00:05First things first, TSA doesn't issue Real ID at all. Real ID comes from your state DMV,
00:11not from airport security. And here's the catch, each state sets its own price.
00:16In some states, it's about $30. Others might charge $40, or yes, even $45.
00:21But that price tag depends entirely on where you live, not some nationwide rule.
00:26A lot of travelers mix up Real ID with TSA PreCheck, but those are two separate things.
00:31TSA PreCheck has its own process and its own fee. So before you apply,
00:37double-check your state DMV's website to get the real scoop. Don't pay more than you need to.
