Answer 1 :
a driver's license.. you dont need a passport to travel inside the US
Answer 2 :
Hi, You might need a driver's license picture id that shows residence address, birthdate, medical card with picture
Answer 3 :
No passport required as long as your flight remains in the continental United States. So if it's a direct flight or only makes stops in the US you do not need passport. Acceptible forms of identification are a state issued driver's license with photo or state issued ID card. If you don't have either form of ID, call the airline or check the website and ask out what is acceptible ID. Sometimes a school ID card with photo is accepted.
Answer 4 :
All you need is a drivers license but if you are too young (or don't have one at all) then use your passport. I notice when I use mine to travel in the USA, I get thu security a bit faster. Since license are easier to fake than passport, they look at the license a little more to make sure its genuine
Answer 5 :
Any verifiable goverment issued id with a picture and your address will meet the Fed's requirements for id, which you are supposed to carry with you at all times, regardless of whether you're traveling or staying put at home. However, after talking to some friends, I have to add that if you are a foreign national, you will have fewer problems with officials while traveling if you use your passport as an id. Its something they all recognize. If you hand them a document they don't recognize, you'll increase the suspicion level, which means delays, hassles, etc. Its not just that licenses are easier to fake but also that they will have probably seen the US Customs stamps, but they might not even recognize the name of your province, state or even country.
Answer 6 :
I once forgot my ID at home. If you have anything with your name on it it will do. as long as its an official document. They walked me right to the gate!
Answer 7 :
No passport needed. A drivers license or state ID card can be used for ID
