Question re: Colorado Driver's License for air travel.

[Circuits]

Don't have a gold star. Anyone know if a passport card is acceptable?

Passport card is valid federal photo ID within the US, and for entry "from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda at land border crossings or sea ports-of-entry" It is not valid for international air travel.

I used my passport card on a Caribbean sea cruise with no problems, but had I attempted to fly back from say, Cancun with just the passport card, I would have been refused boarding on the international flight. I did use the passport card as my ID to board my domestic flight from the Springs to New Orleans where I was getting on the cruise ship.

I couldn't get through security for a flight once because my DL had expired the week before and I didn't realize it.. The TSA screener would not accept it even though it was a real license and had a photo on it that was obviously me.

This is funny. The Colorado Div. of Gaming Investigators are State Police Officers. They have told us repeatedly that expired Drivers Licenses are valid for ID purposes. They are just not a valid Drivers License. It's not like your picture or birth day magically change on the expiration date.

Maybe other LEOs can weigh in here.

"Note: a weapon permit is not an acceptable form of identification."

WTF not? An illegal with a Kalifornia or Kolorado fukn issued DL can fly, but not a (daily) Background Checked (UT - State Issued) Concealed Firearm Permit holder?

(FWIW, I carry my passport just in case)

I accidentally handed my Dougco issued permit to a TSA agent in Omaha. The look on her face!

I don't know how else to type it... you don't need a gold star for domestic air travel.

I'm not going to worry about this because I refuse to fly again until my CHL is good on the plane.

What if you have a star-bellied sneetch tattoo on your left ankle?

When I was bouncing we were told to NEVER Take an expired ID. and we could get in trouble for doing so .

Concealed if you wear socks

I got the TSA precheck with the global entry added on. They give you a Global ID - which is what I use. It doesn't have you address on it - so no one knows what state you live in.

My DL issued in Jan. '15 has the gold star.

I feel so ..............special.
