What identification do I need to bring to the airport?

When traveling through airport security, it is important to bring the appropriate identification documents. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires adults aged 18 and older to present a valid government-issued ID that includes a photo, full name, and date of birth. Acceptable forms of identification include: a driver's license or other state-issued ID card, a U.S. passport or passport card, a permanent resident card, a Department of Defense ID, a trusted traveler card (e.g., Global Entry, TSA PreCheck), or a Native American tribal ID. In case you don't have any of these, alternatives like a temporary driver's license or a social security card may be accepted. However, it is always advisable to check the TSA website or contact your airline before your trip to ensure you have the appropriate identification required for your journey.
