Don’t panic if you lose your ID!!
If you lose your wallet or it gets stolen and you have a flight to catch, don’t sweat. There are still ways the TSA and airlines can verify who you are.
According to the TSA’s website: “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.”
Now if you’re flying internationally and you lose your passport – that’s a very different story!
