I forgot my identification; can I still proceed through security screening?

In the event you arrive at the airport without acceptable identification (whether lost, stolen, or otherwise), you may still be allowed to fly. By providing additional information, TSA has other ways to confirm your identity so you can reach your flight.

If your identity cannot be verified, you will not be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint.

You have been selected to participate in a brief survey about your experience today with Transportation Security Administration. If you would like to take the survey please indicate by clicking the button below. Then feel free to complete the survey at your leisure after you are finished with tsa.gov.
