Lost my drivers license, I have to fly Friday

[GrayStangGT]

When a friend of mine lost his wallet in Vegas he was able to fly back no problem, just had to go through the pat down.

How about you just call and ask?

You also need to get your BC and SS card.

You don't need ID to fly. It's called flying selectee. You basically subject yourself to extra screening. I've done it numerous times post 9/11 - the ticket agent generally has no idea what the fuck they're talking about so take a copy of the TSA policy regarding flying selectee with you.

lmfao

Pack an audio book...

Great book.

How about you just call and ask?

Going to order the BC online tonight if I don't man up and drive to Oklahoma to get a replacement in the AM.

I've tried calling the DMV... Every office in DFW... no answer. On hold with their call center now.

[lowthreeohz]

The last time I took my MIL to the airport she left her wallet/ID at the house. She flew from DFW, made a transfer in PHL to SYR with no form of ID whatsoever.

As long as you can verify the info on your ID and they can match it up to some kind of database and you aren't a complete douchebag they'll probably let you fly.

If Texas still issues state ID's you can go that way. If not you should be fine. You'll go through more TSA bullshit so give yourself extra time.

Yep...nothing difficult. And you get a free pat dowe out of it.

Or freak the eff out like everyone else and go through hoops to make the TSA happy. As if that's possible...

I opt for a pat down. I roll my eyes back, moan and start pumping air with my hips as the free service begins.

But do you give them jazz hands?

They're usually running g through the hair of the TSA agent as the search continues below my waistband.

The documents you need to prove your identity for a DL are the same as when you need for an ID.

http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/driverlicense/identificationrequirements.htm

To help reduce identity theft, individuals must present documents to verify their identity when applying for a driver license or identification card.

There are three ways an individual can verify his/her identity:

Bring one item listed in the “Primary Identity Documents” category or
Bring two items listed in the “Secondary Identity Documents” category or
Bring one item listed in the “Secondary Identity Documents” category and two documents listed in the “Supporting Identity Documents” category
The information on the documents, such as name and date of birth, must all match. If the name is different on each document, then the individual must provide documents that verify a legal name change. If other information on the document is different, speak with a Customer Service Representative for assistance.

If you are using a name other than what is on your birth certificate, (example: married name), you will be required to show legal documentation of name change. Documents must be original or certified copy. No photocopies can be accepted.

Acceptable documents:

Marriage license
Divorce decree
Court ordered name change
Because the state of Texas does not recognize same-sex marriage, DPS cannot accept same-sex marriage licenses.

Documents listed in any of the following categories may be expired unless otherwise noted.

NOTE: A brochure listing all of the following documents is available for download.

Primary Identity Documents
An individual can present one primary document. No other documents are required to verify identity if one primary document is provided.

You actually don't have to show a photo ID unless you are being legally detained, so if you do drive and get pulled over, you could just give them your full name and date of birth.

My dad has tons of free time, so he has been reading up on law, transportation code, etc. He cracks me up sometimes with the shit he just starts going off on telling me how to get out of a ticket, never talk to the police, etc.

I was able to get a temporary DL at the DMV. The only item they used to verify my identity was a Certificate of Birth (they don't accept these according to their website). Took 10 minutes in and out. Everyone was really nice and laid back.

10/10 would loose my DL again
