Acceptable ID
i have not been able to find what constitutes acceptable id on the tsa website. i did bungle onto this, dated 02/06/08, which is for their "enrollment process"
http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/approv...ation_docs.pdf does that work for getting on the plane. it would be nice to be carrying some expendable documents in one's carry-on if one's drivers license is disappeared. |
You don't need any ID to get on a plane. As long as a secondary doesn't bother you.
|
other forms
At least from my experience, SSN card or credit card (anything with my name on it) would also be acceptable. I am going to use my latest electric bill the next time i fly.

Let me know how SSN card and Bill go wouldn't mind going no ID on a NYC->IAD flight.

Government-issued photo i.d. (if you want to avoid secondary screening), i.e. driver's license, passport, public university photo i.d. card, visa, government employee i.d.

Of course, it's not a photo ID, so it'd probably flunk on that anyways. |

Really? My state university college ID only said my name and student number. No mention of valid dates. Would that ID be accepted even though DLs must not be expired? |

I've used my student ID and so far no issue has been made about lack of inspiration date ... however, my ID has a transit sticker affixed to the front and is currently good through end of June. It's possible that this is mistaken for some sort of "proof of enrollment" through June 08. :rolleyes: Alternatively, it would be easy enough to Photoshop some sort of "paid tuition" stub to stick on the back of your ID, like we used to have in the good old days. ;)

That's what I keep saying. But no one seems to care what I think.
You really do have a tough job SMF TSO. Not with the passengers, but with how other TSA screeners treat the passengers which is then associated on you. Back in November 1980 I had a job offer as a US Border Patrol agent for Marfa, Texas. I would suggest you consider the same. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/careers/c...order_careers/ |

So a sticker on a college ID is OK, but additional pages inserted into a US Passport make it "modified" and therefore unacceptable?? :confused: Awesome. :rolleyes:

Hmm, did you guys look at the top of that link? The document describes the identification needed to apply for a job at the TSA. It doesn't concern boarding a plane.

So, an expired passport is good enough to get a job with TSA (actually for a TWIC) but not good enough to get on a plane? :confused: |
