No ID — Pay $45 for Identity Verification If you don’t have acceptable ID, TSA may offer an identity verification process. What happens: • TSA asks personal questions to confirm your identity • A third-party system is used • You pay $45 • You’ll receive additional screening • Plan for significant delays ⚠️ This is not guaranteed.
