Most teens around here most definitely have passports. How would you travel out of the country?

DCUMers really live in a bubble. I was 22 before going to Canada and 31 before going to Europe. International travel is not common for many people.

My kid said that at her (SAT) testing center, they barely looked at the id...

OP here. Thanks all. I will look into these suggestions. Fingers crossed. I'll feel better if she has something in addition to the passport.

If other options don't work, she can definitely get a real ID by 12/9. They are $20 at the DMV and like all appointments, they are walk-ins. We were in and out in an hour on a recent Saturday.

You need to bring the same forms of ID that you would need to get a driver's license (see the website) plus her birth certificate to connect her to you.

Sure, if by around here, you mean children of parents posting on this board or one’s Big 3 classmates. Otherwise, not so much.

Call school and see if they can get you an Id card. I had same issue with very small high school, but it got made on our request.

Unfortunately, her HS doesn't issue school IDs. Her passport is the only photo ID we have.

I wish even more now that she had been interested in getting her driver's license!!!!!

Passport should be fine-- a teen doesn't change so much in 2 years. They are more worried about a 15 year old taking it with a passport from when they were 10.

Will school ID not work? I would take both passport and school ID (and anything else you might have).

I was planning on my daughter using her passport that was issued two years ago. To me, it looks like her. ACT website notes as unacceptable ID: Passport or other photo ID so old that the person presenting it cannot be identified

Is this something to worry about?

We're in DC, and I don't think she'll be able to get a REAL ID Non-Driver Identification Card by 12/9.

I can't believe that I didn't realize that this could be a problem sooner; I just assumed a passport would be fine.
