Flying without ID. Has anyone done it?

[Anonymous]

Lost my driver's license. DC DMV closed Mondays. Flight is early Tuesday. TSA web site says you "may" be able to fly. My passport is expired. Has anyone pulled this off? Thanks.

Pretty sure you can't do that if you are over 16. But they may let you use the expired passport?

It can be done. Give extra time. Just explain you lost your id or it was stolen. Bring your expired passport; bring any work id. If you have a CAC card, that is good for id.

Note you will not be able to rent a car. (Been there done that; wallet stolen in Boston).

I've done it in the last year. It's at their discretion, but I flew twice and a work id and a credit card worked fine.

If your passport is less than 1 year expired, they will accept that without question.

I once lost a credit card but had an ATM/Visa card Douchebag car rental agency wouldn't accept that because of the ATM aspect.

Do you work for Feds? CAC absolutely works.

TSA has the list of primary ID, after that it's two forms to establish ID without a defined list. Scroll down to the 'Forgot your ID' section:

I did it. I lost my driver's license on vacation and had to fly back from Tampa. I was with husband/child. They let me on the plane. I had credit cards.

I would bring every piece of id you've got that proves you are you.

I have never flown without an id before. I know you can use your military id.

I did it 10 yrs ago & im not white. My flight was just to Canada & had no probs going out. On the return, US border control agent made me sing the Star Spangled banner. Loud. I was allowed to fly even though I'd forgotten half the words.
