My state doesn't have an enhanced DL program so in order to apply I would have to either show my passport or my birth certificate. The first line of Pre-check application says that the name on the application must exactly match "Legal Name must match exactly on all identification documents brought to enrollment." IE my passport name.
I undertand changing the info on the flight booking (name on the reservation is under which I think is where the secure flight data is entered)but when the time came to travel my ID (DL) would not match the name that was on the pre-check.
What am I missing?
