Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lost ID and Out of State

I was supposed to pick a buddy of mine up at the airport on Monday, he was flying back to MN from FL

He was not allowed to board the plane because he lost his ID.

How does one get a duplicate ID or permission to board while stuck in another State?

I don’t have an answer to your question, but I am impressed that you have a buddy. I’ll bet your conversations are uplifting.

DMV

Tough situation. Whenever I travel (U.S. or International), I always keep my passport, on my person. Always, except to shower. Had a buddy get stuck in Atlanta changing planes one time when he had to gate check his bag to board the second plane. He had just put his passport, tix, and wallet in the bag before it was gate checked. Flight got cancelled. Airline "lost" his gate checked bag. He spent 3 days living in one of the ATL airport hotels on someone else's credit card before the airline "found" his gate checked bag.

I call BS, who would want to leave FL. for MN.?


Push the button

Guess he can go around to the Southern Border, and Biden will fly him wherever he wants to go. No ID required.

Thanks.

Winter is over, time to get back and go to work building houses.

I had it happen once. Was able to board after relatively long behind doors conversation with TSA. I had two credit cards and an insurance card. I had used Clear to leave my home airport but coming back the airport didn't have Clear.

Now, clear seems to be requiring ID again.

My buddy had his wallet swiped in Hawaii a couple of years ago. He had to go through extra TSA screening, but they allowed him to fly home. The jist of it is that it's TSA's job to prove who you are, not yours. It makes it much easier if you have your ID of course, but they will still allow you to fly after going though extra checks and an interview. I'd show up early to the airport though.

Makes you wonder why you'd bother asking for info on this site when you get trolls responding with their dik headed nonsense.

Wondering why you responded without any information that can help him in any way.

Paul is easy to ignore, he never posts anything helpful or of substance , he is one of The Fire’s first, ignore the message and attack the messenger, clan.

I think he was in the Coast Guard wasn’t he, explains a lot.

The true thing to ponder is why you'd look for advice from total strangers when there is a .gov website out there that will spell it out for you straight from the source. #WizardShit

I travel almost weekly and fortunately I've never been faced with a lost documents issue. When I travel internationally, I have every member of my group (me, wife, kids) make copies of their passport and store it in a separate piece of luggage. Your recourse would be a trip to the local consulate with your passport copy, in that scenario,

As for myself, I have a scanned image of my passport, drivers license, TWIC and concealed carry card on my phone. As others have said, TSA will let you fly, but you still need to have some ways to prove your identity. The chance of losing both my wallet and phone would be slim.

Forgot Your ID?
In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You will be subject to additional screening, to include a patdown and screening of carry-on property.
You will not be allowed to enter the security checkpoint if your identity cannot be confirmed, you choose to not provide proper identification or you decline to cooperate with the identity verification process.
TSA recommends that you arrive at least two hours in advance of your flight time.


You also can Google the issue and get lots of info on this. Things others have mentioned that help include having credit cards, photos of ID on phones, etc.

Easy but takes additional time. I have never had to do it. But I would expect it to take a ton more time.

^^^^^ This. So easy.

I carry my passport in my backpack. The only time it did come in handy was when I was closing on a house and my drivers license was expired by a few days.

Wonder if your friend collected unemployment while he was snow birding in Florida.

Not that it helps this, but we got passport and passport card both. Keep the card with me in my Coast Guard license. DL in billfold. Pictures of both on phone. TWIC card in wallet.

IMHO this post should help folks realize having plans B/C at a minimum is not a bad idea...
