It is the only accepted form of government ID that airlines and airport authorities accept. There is no way around it. Before departing on your international trip make sure your passport is valid for six months beyond your return date.
The passport card can be only used for entering the United States at land border crossings and seaports of entry from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Traveling domestically without ID is easier than internationally. Passengers need at least two alternate forms of identification, such as a social security card, birth certificate, marriage license, or credit card. The documents must bear the name of the passenger. Also, one of these documents must bear identification information containing one of the following: date of birth, gender, address, or photo.
This process takes time so we recommend you arrive at least two hours ahead of your departure time. The TSA officer will ask for info including your name, current address, and other personal details that can be used to confirm that you are who you say you are. The process could take a while. If you are a victim of a crime or lose your identification while traveling, go immediately to the local law enforcement station and file a report!
Most of the time, you will be allowed to travel if you have gone to your local law enforcement station and filed a report. Bring a copy of the report with you to the airport to show both the airport and TSA check-in personnel.
Showing a police report will help you support why you do not have your valid identification. If possible, try to obtain an old expired identification card or some other type of identification card that has your picture on it and maybe verified. Remember, government-issued IDs that are expired are not valid but may help prove your identity. Photo Essays. Travelers Choice Awards. Weekend Getaways. Air Travel. Business Travel. Packing Tips.
