WLOX – Mississippi Driver Services Bureau says check your license for REAL ID gold star
A small update to your driver’s license could have a big impact if you don’t have it and want to travel next year. We’re talking about REAL ID. It’s meant to be an added security feature before you board a flight. But if you don’t get out your wallet and check before October 1, 2020, it may just cause you a headache.
“1.2 million drivers that still need to become compliant with the gold star,” said DPS Driver Services Marketing and Development Director Becky Pierson.
If you’ve gotten your Mississippi driver’s license in the last year, you should have the little gold star in the upper right hand corner of the license. If not, you’ve got some time.
“We’re asking them to go ahead and get their license renewed or get a duplicate,” noted Pierson. “They can come into our offices or go online and make it an easy process.”

“Little Shop of Horrors” opens next week at the Meridian Little Theatre.
