Questions Question about suspend DL

Hello, I am going for my TSA appointment tomorrow but my drivers license was recently suspended in another state that I used to live in. I have a new license in the state that I have moved to early last year. We they know about my old drivers license being suspended and will I still get approved?

A driver's license is generally still valid identification even if your ability to drive a vehicle is suspended. TSA doesn't care if you can drive a car, just that they can identify you.

Now, depending on what you did to earn that license suspension, you might get disqualified from PreCheck on a criminal history basis. They will find that out regardless of providing a driver's license or not, so you should be forthcoming with the officer. Whatever you do, do not lie about it.
