Frequently Asked Questions
Adult passengers 18 and over must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint in order to travel. A general rule of thumb for international travel is that your passport is your primary source of identification. Many times, U.S. Citizens forget this, as your driver’s license is often all you need for domestic travel. It’s imperative to remember that the name on your airline ticket must match your passport name for international travel. The name on your driver’s licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by department of motor vehicles (or equivalent) is fine for domestic travel within the us.
