Residents of Nine States Will Soon Need Passports for Domestic Flights

Uh-oh. A drivers license issued by these nine states will not pass TSA security checkpoints at airports — even for domestic travel — beginning Jan. 22, 2018.

1. Kentucky
2. Maine
3. Minnesota
4. Missouri
5. Montana
6. Oklahoma
7. Pennsylvania
8. South Carolina
9. Washington

For air travelers from these states, the only acceptable alternatives to a passport will be a military ID or permanent resident card.
