Foreigner flying within the US without a passport

Can I travel by plane from California to Colorado without an up-to-date passport?

Best Answer

You need some form of ID that meets the "real ID" requirements. Driver's license in most states can be used (last I heard, only four states did not comply).

For other options, read the Real ID FAQs or the many other questions on this topic.
