Enhanced id recognized at MCO?

[frannn]

I am going to renew my license today at NY DMV and need to decide on the Real ID vs Enhanced. Even though I have no current plans to travel internationally, for $30 extra it's nice to have that option over the next 8 years. I know the Enhanced ID allows me to fly domestically after May 7th, but wondering if I'm likely to have an issue flying back from MCO this May because FL TSA may not be knowledgeable about the Enhanced ID?

Enhanced ID is a REAL ID. I'm sure TSA in FL is familiar with it. It's only available in certain states, but it acts just like a driver's license from any other state (with REAL ID).

As for traveling internationally, the Enhanced ID won't work for flying international. You'll still need a passport for that. But it can be used to cross the border by car (or boat) -- since you are in NY that most likely would be driving into Canada.

What lanejudy said, the enhanced ID is a Real ID, and MCO TSA will have no issue recognizing it.
