Passports for Domestic Flights for NH residents.

[phoenix]

Remember all the 9/11 flights were domestic. Real ID was put in to insure that all states put in enough rigor in the drivers license application to weed out fraud that had allowed non citizens to get a license with as little as an electric bill. states had over ten years to comply . I was part of a company that produced 44 states drivers licenses however not NH

See in today's paper Nah has a reprieve until June . Looks like they will give people an option to not have a picture on license if they don't want but then they will need a passport to get on a plane

Political issues aside; you can get a "passport card" for $35.

What happens to us license holders? Do we need to get a new license if NH smartens up and updates their stuff?

An adult first time applicant for a passport card will pay a total of $55 in fees.

This seems obvious, but...
Make photocopies of your ID, CC etc and carry someplace other than in your pocket. My wife and I do not use the same credit cards. If one of us loses a wallet, we continue on, using the other's set of cards. (It has never happened.)

Working around things. You won't be the first to show up at the gate after losing your wallet. A neighbor traveling in Hawaii called me late on a Friday afternoon, lost wallet, couldn't get past TSA. I called DMV, and a gentleman there said it had happened before. He would stay late, have the local police call him since NH was not part of a national database. Ten minutes later, all solved. NH State employees are tops.

Keep in mind that the new federal requirement requires your social security number on the license. With your Date of Birth already present, a "lost" or stolen license provides an identity thief all they need to hijack your identity.

Passport cards are only good for land borders dont know if they will work on domestic flights but not on international

Not true. While you will need to provide proof of you social security number to the issuing authority, your social security number will not be printed on the license.

Below are what the Act requires be printed on your license:


Full legal name
Residential address
Birth date
Gender
Driver’s license/identification card number
Digital front-facing photograph
Signature


However, once you submit your social security number it will be verified and stored along with your other personal information in a federal database.
