Is there anyway that I still can fly with my expired Driver License? I have social security card, my Costco membership with my picture on it, some credit cards with my name on it, will that help? Pls note that my passport is also expired. Thanks for your help!
A driving license that has expired within less than a year has been routinely accepted by the TSA. If worried about TSA or the airline giving you an issue on a domestic US flight, show up 20-60 minutes earlier and the odds of a material travel disrupting incident drop even further.

I've used expired ID with the TSA and gotten some comments but never been stopped over expiration date when the ID is rather recently expired. Just because your ID is expired doesn't mean you're a different person.
