Can I travel domestically in the U.S. with just my permanent residence card?

Yes, you can travel domestically within the United States using only your Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) accepts the Green Card as a valid form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic flights.

This policy remains in effect even after the enforcement of the REAL ID Act on May 7, 2025. While the REAL ID Act requires travelers to present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state ID for domestic air travel, it also recognizes other forms of identification, including the Permanent Resident Card, as acceptable alternatives.

Therefore, you do not need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or a passport for domestic flights if you have your Green Card. Just ensure that your Green Card is valid and unexpired when you travel.
