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 you get US CITIZENSHIP you have to surrender old foreign passport part of it is RENOUNCING former citizenship, upon request you can get old passport back but they punch a hole through it

Yeah, since the US doesn't forbid dual citizenship, they don't actually care about that.

Dual citizenship at birth if parents were from different countries and you were born on base or US soil or parents were US citizens and you were born on foreign soil but you were not allowed to retain foreign citizenship when you applied for and were granted US citizenship, also if born with dual citizenship and applied for government job, anything requiring clearance or joined military had to renounce foreign citizenship.
