The Casper/Natrona County International Airport Facebook page shared a graphic along with a detail caption that read:
Heads up travelers!
Starting on February 1, 2026, travelers age 18 and up who do not present an acceptable form of ID at the TSA checkpoint may pay a $45 fee to verify their identity through TSA ConfirmID, TSA’s alternate identity verification system. The fee covers a ten-day travel window but does not guarantee approval to fly and may cause additional delays at security.
Please know: If you come to the checkpoint with a REAL ID or other acceptable form of ID you will NOT be subject to any fees.
Other acceptable forms of ID may include:
Passport (including passport cards and digital passports)
State-issued enhanced driver’s license
DHS trusted traveler cards (like Global Entry)
Military ID (including those issued to dependents)
Enhanced tribal cards

It is worth noting that all Wyoming state issued IDs are “REAL ID-compliant“.
Real ID credentials have a star in the right-hand corner. Back in 2019, a black star replaced the gold star on Wyoming credentials, but they still meet Real ID requirements.
