Thanks Ben. You calmed my nerves.
Glad to help!
That’s funny. I had no form of identification except for a flight from Seattle to Reno. Had it stolen. They asked me a few questions that only I would know, they have it all in a data base.
Thanks for the stress relief!!
You’re welcome!
Hello Ben.
One quick question can I get my state id before Jan 11 ? I have a domestic flight.
Definitely feel better now 😮💨
Very helpful
Glad it helped
Hi Ben,
Will the TSA accept a MX matricula from a Dallas consulate? By itself or along with other documents? My relative lost their passport.
Hi Paola, the matricula by itself isn’t enough to get you through security but with other documents it will definitely help if they are just traveling within the US. As long as they are able to verify their identity they should be good but it’s probably best to contact the TSA directly and find out for sure. www.tsa.gov/contact/customer-service
Thanks a lot for your video Ben. I’m a temporary resident of Canada travelling to a different Canadian province in a couple of weeks. My passport is water damaged (all the information can still be clearly read and I also have a photocopy of my passport) I do not have any other Canadian issued photo ID. I’m an Indian citizen. I do have my credit, debit cards, sin information, a temporary drivers license (non photo) and an open work permit as well. Would these documents be enough for me to get through CATSA? I only have two weeks until my departure and am unable to get a replacement ID as soon.
If your passport is readable then that is a good thing. If they need to scan it and are unable to do then the other forms of ID that you have should be enough to get you through security.
Thank you Ben for your video. I lost my wallet yesterday. My replacement may not be here in time before my flight (flying in two weeks)
However, I do have my birth certificate, SS Card, Insurance Card, Credit Cards with my name on it and color photo copy of my actual state issued ID. I should be ok
Glad you found the video helpful Andy! Those alternative ID's that you have should work. Safe travels!
@@BenDreamVacations HELLO BEN SO I LOST MY WALLET WITH MY credit CARDS IN IT! me and my dad are flying to St. Louis On Friday Me and Him Have The Same Name Can my dad just Verify That i am with him? That i am his son I am 18
Sorry to hear you lost your wallet. That sucks. Since you are 18 you are required to have your own ID. Your dad being with you might help, but I am not sure. Do you have any other forms of ID like a passport, birth certificate, student ID, social security card? If you have any of those take those with you to the airport. If you have no ID then TSA will just ask you a bunch of personal questions and as long as your answers match up with the information they can find on you then you should be good to go.
Hii so as long as i bring my school id, ss card, credit cards, a price of mail with my address i should be good? also i have a picture of my id on my phone and my temporary id since it won’t be coming in time for my flight. with all that i shouldn’t have a problem getting in the flight? also for flying back will that stuff work in the other state??
Yes, all the items you mentioned will be good to get you through security. As long as you are in the US it will work in any airport.
I am an international student and i had a laundry accident with my passport. I have a flight next week to Indianapolis from grand rapids, Michigan. I also need to travel to the embassy in D.C. to apply for a new passport. Will the TSA accept my damaged passport as an ID. I don't have time to get a state ID but do have temporary paper state ID. I have my student ID with name and picture, Social Security Card, Credit Card, I-20, I-94 and bank statements. Will I have any trouble during my upcoming flight pre check?
If your passport is still legible and your face is still clear, you can still use your passport. A paper temporary State ID won't be accepted but the other forms of ID will work but you will have to go through a verification check if your passport is not accepted.
So my friend and i are from arizona and
We are in Kentucky atm trying to get back well... He lost his id along with his social security card. Now he has his insurance card, untlity water bill , original birth certificate, and some other small documents along with a picture of his id and social . Will any of that work in Kentucky Airport ? Before i order plane tickets i want to make sure any of those for him works
Those items will work. Just make sure you get to the airport early so he can go through the process of verifying his identity.
I'm thinking about going back to the states but the problem is that my CA id got expired on 2019 and I don't have any alternative id any advice
Do you have a passport? You will need that to get into the states.
Hello i have a question regarding identification for airline boarding. I have a flight coming up on 2/15/2022 for domestic flight for Hawaii. My drivers license expires on 2/12/2022 and i did renew it but I don’t think it will come in time for my flight. i don’t have a passport, and all i have is the receipt that i paid for mr drivers license renewal and have my US citizenship certificate. Will that be allowed for me to pass TSA without any issues? I did see that starting from March 2020, expired drivers license will be still allowed for people to pass TSA and get on the plane with no issue, will that apply for me as well?
Hi Diane, yes you can fly domestically with an expired driver's license as long as it not more than a year past the expiration date. You can take your renewal receipt just in case but you shouldn't need it. Enjoy your time in Hawaii!
Is a student ID and credit card enough? I have a temporary paper license, but it is not accepted. I could bring my paychecks with my address on them.
You will need at least one photo ID, so if your student ID has your picture on it that will work. A credit card and something with your address on it will be good to take, as well as your temporary paper license.
so what happens when you have a layover flight? do you have to do it again?
No, you won’t have to do it again unless you leave the secured area.
Hey Ben I I recently lost my wallet that had my social Security card in it, my license expired but I got it renewed but it won’t come in time for my flight however I do have a temporary paper copy and expired passport, birth certificate would that be enough to get me through tsa?
If your passport is not more than a year expired that should be enough to get you on a domestic flight. Otherwise, bring the other documents that you have with you and you should be good 👍🏻
@@BenDreamVacations thank you so much!!!
@@BenDreamVacations can I use a photo of my social security number?
@@jamesgray5189 yes you can use a picture of your social security card. Also, as a result from the pandemic the TSA was allowing travelers to use an expired license to get through security as long as it was not more than a year expired. I am not sure if they are still allowing it but I think if you are able to show proof that you have renewed your license you should be good.
My son's Learner DRivers License expired a year ago. We are flying domestically, leaving in a week. He has credit cards, debit cards, bank statments, credit card bills and a student ID. Will all that work to fly to and from domestically?
expired almost two years ago next month.
How old is your son? If he is under 18 he can travel under your ID.
@@BenDreamVacations He is 19
@@MELISSAMONTOYA-id2nv take the expired ID with you along with his student ID, credit cards, any statements that have his name and address on it and take it with you to the airport. The TSA will have to run a verification process to confirm his ID before being allowed to go through the security process.
My id is expired and I dont have it but I have a student Id and a birth certificate will this get me through?
Both of those should be enough to get you through security. If you have something that has both your name and your address on it, bring that with you as well.
Does this work for non us citizens as well
I think if you have been in the U.S. a little while and have something that the TSA can pull from like a credit report then it should work for non-citizens as well.
I hope you see this cause I’m in tough situation. My mother never filed for my birth certificate and I no longer live with her. She put me through school using baptismal records. I have my student ID from high school but all it has on it is my name and photo. I also have a debit card that has my name on it as well. Is this enough for me to get on a flight? I have a friend who is going to be buying my ticket and I’ll be flying with him, if this all works out. Unfortunately in my situation these are the only two pieces of identification I have for now. Is this enough for my flight? I haven’t been able to get a legal ID because of my mother and I’m currently going to have get the authorities involved because of it. Still is this enough for me to fly? Is there any possible way that my friend buying my ticket allows me to have easier access to fly either? I’m currently homeless and this trip is the only way I can start to get my life together. Also I have my SSN but I do not have my physical card.
Are you over 18?
@@BenDreamVacations I am 20 turning 21 this august.
@@KryueII this is a tough one. Since you never had a legal ID it might be hard to prove your identity. My suggestion would be to contact the TSA directly. Your student Id and debit card might be enough. (866) 289-9673 or www.tsa.gov/contact-center/form/information
They will be able to tell you if what you have will be enough to get through airport security.
Hi, im flying to Chicago in a few few weeks, and i dont currently have an id. I do have my high school id, which is from this year, i also have my social security card, birth certificate, and a bill from my mom. Is that enough to get through tsa?
Have you ever had an Id? If not then none of those other forms of id will work. It’s only if you lost or forgotten your Id. Are you under 18 and will you be traveling be yourself?
No,I haven't, well not yet just an appointment. And I just turned 19 this yr. Will none of what I mentioned work for a domestic flight?
@@uniweirdo without you ever having an id unfortunately none of those other things are going to work.
Could you ever travel anonymously? Just curious.
I don't believe there is way unless you can afford to fly privately.
Hey brotha, I’m currently leaving tomorrow for my best friends wedding, I lost my id but I have my credit card, social security card and digital insurance card as well as utility bills and prescriptions with my name and address on them, just no photo Id, will I be ok??
Hey Ruben, those forms of ID's that you mentioned are good. Check in with the airline first when you arrive at the airport and tell them you lost your ID. Once the airline confirms your identity they will most likely issue you a boarding pass with a note that says you do not have an ID. Then when you get to the security lines tell the agent checking ID's that you lost your ID. They will then go through the ID verification process with you. Just make sure to arrive to the airport early so you have enough time to complete the process. Safe travels tomorrow!
Thank you so much Ben!
Should I check in with someone before I go through the tsa id checking process is what you’re saying?
Yes, I would talk to someone at the airline check-in counter first before you head to security. They may have to issue you a special boarding pass.
@@BenDreamVacations ok, so a different boarding pass from the digital one on my phone? sorry for all the questions, I’m just in a panic kinda. 😅
I let my ID expire. I renewed it, but it wont arrive in time for my flight. Can i use the temporary paper ID they gave me, along with my birth certificate, SSN, and a piece of mail that has my name and address on it to get through TSA? Thanks
You can use your temporary paper ID along with two other forms of ID like your birth certificate and SSN card. If you still have your expired ID you can still use that up to a year after expiration.
Thank you so much. I made it to my destination and back home!
@@Ap3xGaming90 that’s great! So glad you didn’t have any issues.
Is learners id accepted ?
Yes, learners Id is accepted 👍
Can I go to Puerto Rico with my expired license??
You can as long as your license is not more than a year expired.
@@BenDreamVacations but I just have Dacan can I still go?? Thank you for answering my question
