On Wednesday, April 2, the WNY County Clerk's office, in partnership with the NFTA, held a Real ID press event at the Niagara Falls Airport. 

Starting May 7, 2025, all travelers will need a REAL ID or an acceptable form of ID (like a passport) to fly domestically. Overall, REAL ID proves you are who you claim to be, which is helpful for various situations, like opening a bank account or obtaining government services.
