Domestic Travel ✈️ using DL
I’ve never had anxiety about traveling domestically till this week. Flew from NYC to LAX and I must admit I was definitely on high alert. The uncertainty of the current situation makes me want to stay indoors/local however I am a traveling nurse and many of my clients live in different states.
Did some research a couple months ago which indicated I should qualify for “Real ID” using EAD & SSN with a valid passport however when I went to my local DMV they said I’ll have to wait till I get my GC.
Who else shares this anxiety now with domestic travel using state DL or foreign passport?

hey I got a real ID before I had my green card approved at the DMV in Charlotte, NC (but I think things vary depending on state). I got it when I had my EAD. I understand the stress but if you have a legal status I don’t think there’s anything you need to worry about.
keep your head up!

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 yes I flew with no issues but it’s definitely more stressful just thinking about “what if”

@Mo Me Anxiety for what? Just use your DL and you’re good to fly. If you don’t have a REAL ID, starting May 7 use your passport to fly.
Enjoy the US friendly skies 😊.
