Can I fly with my mobile ID?


Can I fly with my mobile ID? If you're looking to use Mobile ID to get through the airport, you'll also need to acquire TSA PreCheck. This program, which allows travelers to speed through security, is available by application only. Those with TSA PreCheck can generally expect to pass through a separate security line.


Do airports accept ID on iPhone?

Once the airline representative is satisfied that you are who you say you are, they will issue a boarding pass with a note that you don't have an ID.
