I know we had a brief discussion on using your foreign passport to travel on planes around the U.S. I just wanted to know if anyone has actually done that? Instead of showing a U.S. government issued ID, have you used your foreign passport? If so... how did it go? Did they question you or anything? I'm getting my renewed passport in about 2 weeks and I wanted to use it to fly in the U.S. It obviously won't have a visa in it like my old one, but I think I could still use it.

If anyone knows anything about this... I would greatly appreciate the information.

It'll be fine. I have used my passport to travel in a plane several times and I've never had a problem. It doesnt have to be a U.S. government issue ID. Foreign passports are fine.

No. I dont think you can use it if its expired. Once i was cheking in and i showed my passport and the guy thought that the expiration date was the issued date( which was in 2005 so he tought it was expired), and he told me i couldnt fly if it was expired. But then i corrected him and he said it was ok.

apparently, since that's what people have been saying. I just went to my consulate a month ago and filled out a form to get my passport renewed. It came in the mail a couple days ago. so that's why i asked if i could travel. as long as your passport is not expired, i guess it's fine!

and now i can go out to the bars with my friends... a lot of them are happy that i'm kind of normal now lol. i even ordered a beer last night with the passport. hehe.
