TSA Precheck ID question

Hi folks.....I'm new here.

My stupid driver's license had a typo in the name......my first name had a transposition that I didn't notice. I guess it depends on where you are from whether Michael is spelled MichEAL or Michael. No one ever seemed to notice, so I figured I would correct it at the next renewal. Well that was until I decided to get the TSA precheck for an upcoming trip and my first name's spelling on my SSN card and Birth Certificate doesn't match my driver's license. Unfortunately, the trip will be on Labor Day so I don't have time to wait on the driver's license to arrive in the mail.

So I need to go ahead and do the application for TSA pre-check Monday morning and hope that they get the traveler number by the date of my trip.

My question: Will the TSA accept a temporary driver's license (in conjunction with my birth certificate and SSN) for proof of identity? My state issues the temporary ID with the picture and all information exactly as the plastic driver's license will have--except it's on a plastic paper instead of typical hard plastic.

Thank you!
