The good news is that not having your permanent ID does not always mean you have to put your travel plans on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, whether you can get a passport with a temporary ID depends on the type of ID you have and whether you can provide other acceptable documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Department of State has specific identification requirements for passport applications. Here is what you should know before submitting your paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can You Get a Passport With a Temporary ID?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possibly, but a temporary ID is not automatically accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you apply for a U.S. passport in person, you generally need to present a physical, government-issued photo ID. The State Department\u2019s primary identification list includes documents such as a valid driver\u2019s license and certain previously issued U.S. passports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A temporary paper driver\u2019s license or temporary identification document may not meet the primary identification requirements. Acceptance can depend on the document and the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you only have a temporary ID, check with the passport acceptance facility before your appointment. Ask whether your document is acceptable and what additional identification you should bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What IDs Can You Use to Apply for a Passport?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Department accepts specific forms of identification for passport applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Depending on your situation, acceptable primary identification may include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A valid driver\u2019s license<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An enhanced driver\u2019s license<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A valid or expired, undamaged U.S. passport book or passport card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain government employee IDs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain military IDs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must present a physical photo ID. We do not accept digital IDs or mobile driver\u2019s licenses for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Department also requires a photocopy of the front and back of each ID you present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review the current requirements on the official<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/passports\/apply\/help\/photo-id.html\"> Passport Photo ID Requirements page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if Your Temporary ID Is Not Accepted?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your temporary ID does not qualify as primary identification, you may have other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bring Additional Identification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Department may accept secondary identification when you cannot provide an acceptable primary ID. Examples can include a Social Security card, credit card, employee ID, or library card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may need to present secondary documents together to establish your identity. The acceptance facility or passport agency will determine whether the documents you provide meet the requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume that a temporary driver\u2019s license and one additional document will automatically be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check Whether You Have Another Accepted ID<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may already have another qualifying document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, an eligible, undamaged U.S. passport book or card may serve as identification, even if it is expired. Check the current rules to confirm that your document qualifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your ID was issued by a different state from the one where you are applying, you should also bring a second photo ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact the Passport Acceptance Facility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before your appointment, explain which documents you have available. The facility can tell you what to bring and whether it will accept your temporary ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is especially helpful if you have upcoming international travel and cannot afford to make an unnecessary trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do You Need Proof of Citizenship Too?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Identification and proof of U.S. citizenship serve different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your ID helps establish who you are. Citizenship evidence establishes that you qualify for a U.S. passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For a first-time adult passport application, acceptable citizenship evidence may include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A qualifying U.S. birth certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A previously issued, full-validity U.S. passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Consular Report of Birth Abroad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Certificate of Naturalization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Certificate of Citizenship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You generally need to provide the original or a qualifying certified document, along with a photocopy. Electronic copies of birth certificates are not accepted as citizenship evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review the official<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/passports\/apply\/help\/citizenship-evidence.html\"> citizenship evidence requirements<\/a> before applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can You Get an Expedited Passport With a Temporary ID?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expedited service does not remove the identification requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need a passport quickly, you still need to provide acceptable identification, proof of citizenship, a completed application, and any other required documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Department offers expedited processing, while urgent travel appointments may be available for qualifying travelers with imminent international travel. Appointment availability and processing times can vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your permanent ID hasn&#8217;t arrived and your departure date is approaching, check your ID options as soon as possible. Resolving the ID issue early can help you avoid additional delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How The Passport Office Can Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Passport Office<\/strong> is a private passport expediting company that helps travelers prepare passport applications and understand the available service options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team can review your application documents, identify common paperwork issues, and explore expedited passport services for upcoming travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need to apply for a passport with a temporary ID, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/contact.php\">contact The Passport Office <\/a><\/strong>to discuss your circumstances before submitting your application. We can help you understand the next steps, although the government determines whether your identification is acceptable and makes all final passport decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be able to apply for a passport without your permanent ID, but a temporary ID may not qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check whether your document meets the State Department\u2019s identification rules, ask about secondary identification if needed, and gather your citizenship evidence before applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have an upcoming trip, start checking your options early. Proper preparation can help prevent avoidable delays in your passport application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you recently renewed your driver\u2019s license or lost your identification, you may be wondering if you can still apply for a passport.
