You can call if you want, but I think the docs she's already got will suffice.

Here are United's specific requirements (just 'cause DL's are not posted):

Children ages 15-17 traveling alone need one of the following:

  • Driver's license
  • Passport
  • Credit card
  • School ID
  • Company ID
  • Library card
  • Birth certificate
  • Social Security card
  • Organization ID (such as athletic club, etc.)
  • Proof of auto insurance in passenger's name

As she'll be unaccompanied by adult companion she will need valid ID.
I think this is additive to, not limiting the rules under "acceptable identification"
