Overview

• Krispy Kreme is offering one free Original Glazed doughnut to all guests on May 7, 2025, at participating U.S. locations, with no purchase or ID required.
• The promotion coincides with the start of REAL ID enforcement, which requires compliant identification for domestic flights and federal facility access.
• REAL ID-compliant IDs feature a star marking; acceptable alternatives include passports, passport cards, and enhanced driver’s licenses.
• The giveaway is available in-store and via drive-thru but excludes Puerto Rico, grocery stores, convenience stores, and non-Krispy Kreme-owned outlets.
• The REAL ID Act, passed in 2005, took nearly 20 years to implement and has prompted a surge in DMV activity as the compliance deadline arrives.
