Airplane (in states)
 

My friend is an illegal immigrant. He doesn't have a driver's license either. He needs to take a plane to a different state for a business trip.

From my experience, they only checked for a driver's license or some ID card. All he has is a student ID card. Will that work?

"It's a terrorist!"

For some reason I don't imagine his student ID will be sufficient.

I'm wondering how he got a student ID card without having a state ID to get that student ID at school. I mean, don't you need official documents to go to school?

Well it's a junior college. It's ironic because he pretty much lived here in the States all his life, but he never bothered to renew his Visa.

What other forms of ID is required? Or an alternate.

I don't know, for all the times I've been at the airport they've wanted my driver's license/state ID. Maybe you should just call an airport and ask them what kind of ID is necessary. Just try not to sound Mexican!

I would say that if you showed a Passport or you showed your Nations ID of some sort then they would let you in. I fly all the time so i'm kinda used to it.

Don't forget to take off your shoes.

Pretty sure they just check your ID... But paying for the ticket and everything might be where it gets hairy.

I remember just showing my ID lotsa times.
