Issuing Authorities

• The U.S. Passport Card is issued by the U.S. Department of State.
• Real ID credentials are issued by individual state DMVs (Departments of Motor Vehicles).

Scope of Use

• The Passport Card is valid for domestic travel within the United States, as well as land and sea travel to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
• Real ID is restricted to use within the United States only and does not support international travel.

TSA Acceptance

• Both the Passport Card and Real ID are accepted as valid identification for TSA security screening when flying domestically.

Credential Level

• The Passport Card is a federal Tier 1 identity document, holding the same federal authority as a traditional passport book.
• Real ID is considered a Tier 2 identity document, and its authority varies depending on state regulations.

Driving Privileges

• The Passport Card does not grant driving privileges.
• A Real ID driver’s license can be used for operating a motor vehicle.

Advantages of the Passport Card

• Provides limited cross-border functionality and partial entry/exit capability.
• Offers stronger federal authority than a Real ID when opening bank accounts or applying for certain federal services.
• Not affected by state policies and is universally accepted at all TSA checkpoints nationwide.

Definition and Purpose

TSA security screening refers to the passenger security procedures conducted by the Transportation Security Administration. These procedures are required before boarding a flight and are intended to prevent prohibited items, weapons, or dangerous objects from entering aircraft, ensuring aviation safety.

Identification Requirements

During identity verification, travelers must present an acceptable form of ID, such as:

• U.S. Passport
• Real ID–compliant driver’s license
• Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
• U.S. Passport Card

Verification Process: Scan + Manual Review

TSA validation typically includes two steps:

• Document scanning to detect forgery, expiration, or tampering.
• Manual comparison by a TSA officer to ensure the traveler matches the photograph.

The exact process may differ depending on whether the airport uses the CAT (Credential Authentication Technology) system.

How CAT Technology Verifies Different IDs

CAT devices read specific data fields depending on the document type:

• Passport Book: Reads the embedded e-passport chip or the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone).
• Passport Card: Reads the PDF417 barcode along with the RFID chip.
• Real ID Driver’s License: Reads the PDF417 barcode as the primary verification method.
