Is there any way for my non-American friend to fly domestically in the USA without his passport? He has a student ID but no other form of ID at the moment (no drivers licence, etc.) The reason he doesn’t have his passport is that he sent it in to get renewed & it probably won’t arrive back in time.
He still has a few weeks before the flight, so he can e.g. go apply for a State ID if that’s a possibility. Unfortunately it seems that you need a passport to get a State ID… He probably can’t get a drivers license for similar reasons, and anyway he doesn’t know how to drive.
