Is it mandatory for all airline passengers to have a valid photo ID? I bought tickets for air travel for my parents. My father is the bearer of identity card with photo, but my mother is not. would it be right to travel?
In the U.S., in general, you need to have.
If you do not have an ID for any reason - for example, someone forgets and leaves the house - is at the discretion of the TSA they let you pass. They may choose to undergo additional screening, they may ask you to provide other forms of identification (birth certificates, bank statements, payroll, etc.), or they may simply refuse passage through security just done. Once I left my license at home and was allowed to use a work identification badge (with photo above) as acceptable ID. They test me a little more, but it was.
In all cases, it is made clear by both the TSA and airline ticketing guidelines that you must have photo identification. Why is it safe? You can get a state ID card for less than $ 10 office license.
Not in the U.S., you must have photo identification.
