I will be flying domestically, will I have a problem using my driver license which was taken before I had chemo.
Also, I got my Global Entry two months ago, I had a wig on when the photo was taken, will I have problem if I travel with a beanie? and if my hair grow back, it will not be similar to my wig, do I need to get another Global Entry card? TIA.
I wish you the best in your response to the chemo treatment.
The handful of people -- including some rather young children -- whom I've known to fly internationally after a change of appearance of sort due to such medical treatment have been able to fly without issue over their identity when dealing with the TSA and CBP .... including when dealing with the Global Entry kiosks. I wouldn't suggest wasting any time getting a new GE card over hair loss, as there are other ways to better spend time than try to deal with that kind of situation. GE will work on your face and/or fingers with or without hair on the head, and even if the kiosks fail to work, your GE status will still get you through the passport control/customs function faster on average.
Hair and hair styles can change and it's usually not a problem in my experience. If the driving license change is quick, cheap and easy, maybe I would consider it; however, I would most probably not do anything about that either. Trying to get a GE card with a different appearance of sort? I wouldn't waste my time on that under just about any circumstances.
