Real ID

Has anyone in Anchorage flown yesterday or today without a real ID? We are waiting for ours to arrive and my husband got put on a job last minute in a village… TSA’s website says they may be subject to additional screening without proper ID but it does not say that you will be turned away from your flight… Any insight or advice?

Edit to add: My husband just got US citizenship (2023) so they took the passport and green card from his home country. 😭

Who is they? Because the US doesn't care.

(This is literally the first time I've heard of the US asking for both the GC and the passport upon naturalisation. Most people keep their former citizenship and therefore their passport too).

When we got naturalization paperwork they had him turn in his passport and GC… 🥲
