Culver City DMV Extends Hours As Real ID Deadline Approaches

CULVER CITY, CA — As the deadline approaches for travelers to show a Real ID at airports, the Culver City DMV is expanding its hours to accommodate people seeking the federally mandated cards.

On May 7, travelers will be required to show a Real ID-compliant license, passport or passport card in order to board domestic flights. Regular licenses won't work — Real ID-compliant licenses are ones issued by the state DMV after applicants provide identifying information such as Social Security numbers.

Real ID-compliant cards will also be required to enter federal buildings and military installations.

In California, 18 DMV offices will open one hour early, four days a week through June 7 to serve those seeking Real ID cards.

The offices, including the one in Culver City, will open at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The extra hour will be exclusively filled with Real ID appointments.

More information about the Real ID requirement is available on the DMV website.
