Simple question about EAD....

[Tobester 0]

Is your EAD a valid ID?

I'm not really comfortable having to carry my dutch passport all of the time.

It's not a very convenient size and I'm afraid I might lose/damage it.

My EAD is credit card size and fits in my wallet.

Claudeth has used her's as an I.D. and it seems to work (at least for a glass of wine!)

I have been useing my UK picture drivers license.............not risking carrying my passport around!!!

Slightly related....James tried to use his English Driving License here a few years ago to buy cigarrettes and the girl at the gas station thought it was a fake! I think she wasn't very bright though....I mean, seriously, if he was gonna fake a license he would do a US one! I tried to buy them then and she said she wouldn't sell them too me since she knew I'd give them to him!

Tobester,

Yodrak

he is asking about things like,

for writing checks or using a debit card

for buying cigarettes or alcohol

for basically anytime someone just asks for an ID

he doesnt have a drivers license yet, so he was wondering if his EAD would work for these things

thanks everyone for your responses

keltic,

Then the answer is - it's up to the person who's requesting to see some ID. If they trust what they see (or don't really care), they'll accept it. If they're really concientious and aren't familiar with or don't trust what they're shown, then they may not accept it.

I was wondrering about this one too. Would it work for, say, air travel. Anyone tried?

[Kez/JWolf 6]

I flew to florida using my EAD as ID.... but I did have my passport as a back-up.....

I showed my EAD and all was good....

I've used it as an ID before, people seem to trust the big stamp on it.

Before that, I've tried using my Belgian embassy issued ID but usually they'd ask for something else so I did carry my passport around.
