ID Requirements for Flying to Las Vegas: TSA-Approved Documents

Flying to Las Vegas? Since it's a domestic U.S. destination, you'll need one acceptable form of identification at the TSA checkpoint. Here's what works:

Primary IDs (REAL ID Compliant)

• State driver's license or ID card (must be REAL ID compliant after May 7, 2025)
• U.S. Passport book
• U.S. Passport card

Other Accepted Forms

• DHS Trusted Traveler cards: Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST
• U.S. Military ID (active duty, retiree, dependent)
• Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
• Federally recognized tribal ID
• Foreign government passport with valid U.S. visa
• Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada card

Special Situations

• Lost/Expired ID: You may still fly by completing identity verification (answering questions, providing alternate docs). Allow extra time.
• Children under 18: No ID required when traveling with an adult companion (airline policies vary for unaccompanied minors).
• International connections: If connecting to an international flight, you'll need a passport regardless.

Don't Forget

• Boarding pass (mobile or paper)
• Credit/debit card for incidentals
• Check TSA.gov for real-time updates on ID rules

Pro tip: Enroll in TSA PreCheck (or Global Entry) for expedited screening—keep your shoes on, leave laptops in bags.
