Domestic plane travel LPR

I'm sure I already know the answer to this but just wanted to verify since I just realized that we haven't been on a domestic flight since my wife was still in the first 90 days after arrival on her K-1...

There is zero reason that she would ever need to have her foreign passport for a domestic flight. Just her Driver's License will be enough to board, correct? (And, she'll have her GC with her, too, of course.)

Yes, her DL is fine. I have traveled domestic in continental US with my learner's permit, although I did have passport on me just incase anyone asked for it. But no one did. I have seen almost everyone producing DL as iD for domestic flights. Her GC is also fine. I am assuming her DL is issued in the US.

You can check the TSA website for acceptable forms of ID. Both DL and GC are acceptable forms of ID for domestic travel. By law she should carry her GC with her, but she does not have to show it at the airport for TSA (but she can for ID purposes).

Thanks... That's what I thought. Just don't want to carry any more (and loseable!) documents than necessary. Of, course she'll have her GC with her but the less it's out of her purse, the better. Lost DL = $20, Lost GC = , especially only 6-7 months out from being a USC.

I always recommend making a scanned copy of the front and back of any GC so you can at least include a copy of it to start the next phase of the process. Then if it is lost you can file a police report and maybe not have to shell out the money for a replacement GC and wait the long wait for it to arrive before filing for citizenship or ROC. The USCIS seems to want a copy of the current card so I have one ready to go.

Have a good trip,
