DUNMORE, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The Real ID enforcement goes into effect on Wednesday. The line outside the Dunmore DMV earlier Tuesday was as long as people were waiting to get the Real ID.
People were in that line for about an hour and a half.
You will need the Real ID to pass through airport security or get into some government buildings.
While the Real ID is voluntary in Pennsylvania, it is mandatory to fly or enter some federal buildings if you do not have a passport or military ID.

Executive Director of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport Carl Beardsley says when you are going through the airport with your Real ID, it is important to be patient.
"They need to do to know that whenever they have a real ID that it tells them that they need to move along and be, be patient to get everybody through security's training and on to where they need to go," Beardsley explained.
If you are not able to get your Real ID on time, you will need to bring your passport to board an airplane.
