SIGN UP On Wednesday, May 7, all Krispy Kreme customers can get one free Original Glazed Doughnut in-store or at the drive-thru at participating shops.
The offer is limited to one free doughnut per customer and there’s no purchase necessary. The best part? You don’t have to show an ID to score the freebie.
“The DMV can be stressful enough in normal times, but we know May 7 is going to be ‘next level’ stress for many Americans trying to get their REAL ID,” Krispy Kreme chief growth officer Dave Skena said in a statement. “So, we’re going to keep this simple. Come by on May 7 and have a free Original Glazed doughnut on us, no REAL ID — or any ID — required.”
The Scene
What’s all this fuss about the Real ID anyway?
Starting May 7, the Real ID Act will be enforced. This means U.S. travelers will need to show a Real ID or an approved alternative form of identification to TSA agents while going through the security checkpoint at U.S. airports.
Per the Real ID Act, the Real ID is a state-issued identification card or driver’s license that must meet certain security standards. Children under 18 are not required to show identification while traveling when they’re with an adult.
