expired id card - getting through security?
 

I'm traveling on Monday out of Orlando and just realized that my photo id expired on my birthday. Will I be able to fly?

Expired I'd cards are not valid. You will not be able to fly.

If you have a valid passport that would work or any of the IDs below:

DHS "Trusted Traveler" cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)
U.S. Military ID (active duty or retired military and their dependents, and DOD civilians)
Permanent Resident Card
Border Crossing Card
DHS-designated enhanced driver's license Drivers Licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent)
Native American Tribal Photo ID
An airline or airport-issued ID (if issued under a TSA-approved security plan)
A foreign government-issued passport
Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) card
Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)

Julia... There is a procedure in TSA to allow a passenger with no ID to fly. It requires checking of various addresses, perhaps credit, etc...

Get to the airport early early early and tell the TSA up front what your issue is.

By early, I mean 3-4 hours early...and good luck.

Remember you will have to do the same coming home. When you land, talk to the TSA supervisor at tht airport, show return ticket, and prep them for the process when you return. Show up early for that one too!

This is not correct. You will just be subject to considerably more screening.

"We understand passengers occasionally arrive at the airport without an ID, due to lost items or inadvertently leaving them at home. Not having an ID, does not necessarily mean a passenger won't be allowed to fly. If passengers are willing to provide additional information, we have other means of substantiating someone's identity, like using publicly available databases."

Even expired, your ID will help to confirm your identity so be sure and bring it. In fact, I have seen TSA accept an expired ID with no additional screening.

Me too. They may want to do a bit of additional cross-verification but the point is that you have a valid (i.e., not fake) piece of govt/state issued photo ID.

I saw a pax today st FLL with no ID and was able to pass security.

I believe one of the TSOs on the forum said if it expired less than 12 months ago you should not have any issues. Of course, YMMV since i'm not sure if this person ever proved where this was documented.

Welcome to Flyertalk

Assuming you are flying domestic, you will be able to fly. Get there early, if they notice the ID is expired they may do additional screening and verifying.



The statement

is completely incorrect.

I'm flying domestically, Orlando to San Francisco. Does anyone know what the extra screening process includes?
Thanks so much, ya'll....I am majorly stressed over this, I'm flying for work and I feel so crazy that I didnt realize this sooner.

Julia - What time is your flight and what are the Saturday/Monday hours at the dept of motor vehicles?

I suggest you read the TSA site whose link I posted above. It will answer all of your questions and allay your fears. But do take people's advice and bring your expired ID and get there a little early. I doubt if it would take more than an extra few minutes, if that.

A persons identity does not expire with the expiration date on a photo ID.

I have flown domestically dozens of times on an expired driving license. When the ID is expired less than a year, it's most often not a problem.

I have gone through this. Non-issue most of the time. Once the clown questioning happened and was asked a bunch of questions based on queries run against what is often messed up commercial database data.

An extra hour in advance at the airport and I have been fine even when they mess up.
