travel document
Does anyone know if I can use the travel document to travel domestically?
I have one valid until August 2022. My EAD card has expired and it’s going to take USCIS ages to renew it lol. I already started the renewal application but in the meantime I don’t have any sort of ID except my travel document.

use your driver’s license

Passport, driver license, state ID, consular ID, all those are accepted to travel domestically

Your immigration status does not matter while traveling within the US territory. Of course, you need an ID in English. Places not recommended: Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, because there is a chance of flight changes, so you will need to go through immigration when you arrive at US after the situation.

Really? what if you have overstayed your visa or your visa is expired and you don’t have any form of identification? @Flavio Junior

Well, in this scenario, you can order a new passport with your country consulate. Even though immigration sometimes retain your passport depending on the way you enter, you can make a new one. After that is only a matter of time until the consulate issues a new passport.
Visa is normally used to get into the country, within its borders, just your passport is fine(no visa required)

if you do not have any type of verification, then you cannot travel via airplane.

Normally when they issue the receipt that they received your application, you get your EAD extended for 180 days

@Victory Victory, sorry, I might have misunderstood your question. If you’re traveling to a place within the US territory and your flight changes directions to another country, you will need to go through the immigration when you arrive back in US. If you overstayed your visa, you will not be allowed back in. hope this answers your question.

@ Flavio jr, I’m talking about traveling within the us on plane with an expired or overstayed status
