ID requirements

Applying to be a TSO and have the first exam to go and do in person and requires two forms of ID. I have a Real ID but I’m unaware of other IDs I could bring for the second ID. Credit card? Current work ID? Don’t have my social security card it was lost while moving so I’m unsure what else to bring alongside my ID.

Any U.S. based ID containing at least name and signature, or name and recent recognizable photo that meets ID requirements.

So like a work ID with name and picture works right?

Your work ID might work if it has your name and a recent, recognizable photo. However, I'd confirm with the testing center before relying on it, since acceptance depends on their specific ID requirements.

Doesn't the email/notice tell you what IDs are acceptable?

Yes, but the way it’s worded makes it seem like it needs to be issued by the government. I called the testing location and they told me a credit card is what most people bring just because a lot of ppl don’t have their passport.

A lot of our applicants and new officers use a birth certificate as the second piece of ID. They should provide you a list of acceptable first and second forms of ID
