ID and documentation requirements
Domestic travel
For travel within the 50 United States only. 

All passengers 18 and older are required to present valid and unexpired government-issued photo identification (federal, state or local). For example: driver’s license or passport. All customers must carry government-issued identification with them at all times and may be asked to show identification during boarding.

If you do not have government-issued photo identification, two forms of identification are required:

  1. Non-photo government identification. For example: a voter registration card or social security card.
  2. Credit card or birth certificate

Customers without proper identification may be subject to additional security screening procedures.
