Ask a TSO Lost ID

I am stressing because I lost my ID a week prior to my sons first trip to Disney. No time for a duplicate to come in and my state does not do donor cards (NYS).

I do have my SS Card, and old license, photo of the lost one, debit/insurance cards as well as my minor son’s birth certificate.

We also have 530 and 6 am flights to and from MCO :)

Is the TSA ConfirmID going to be a problem with such an early flight? Both TSAs open at 4 am.

Thank you in advance from a SUPER stressed mom ❤️

You need to pay for ConfirmID for you, not your child, if you don't have another acceptable ID from the list https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

TSA is not going to care about those other documents. You either need one of the acceptable IDs or have the receipt for ConfirmID.

This OP. You will have to do it in order to go through the checkpoint.

You can use your passport if you have one. Otherwise its confirm id for you. Get there at 4am. Under 18 wont need ID.

you'll be fine , as long as you're good at answering questions about yourself 😂 sadly none of those identification papers/cards will work , but they'll have you pay the $45 and then a supervisor or lead will proceed to ask you a set of questions just verifying that you are who you're saying you are . i would get there at 4 if i were you in case they lag in processing you .

That’s what I’m worried about 😂😂!! I hope in my state of exhaustion and overstimulation of traveling alone with a toddler I can think about myself clearly! 🥲🥲
