TSA Says Costco Cards ‘Absolutely' Don't Count as REAL IDs While Confessing ‘Love' for Costco Hotdogs: ‘Please Stop'
The TSA warned travelers that Costco cards do not count as REAL IDs in a lighthearted Facebook post on June 4 The government agency shared the message to dispel rumors that travelers can use their Costco cards at airports REAL IDS became mandatory to fly domestically and enter federal buildings in most states on May 7The Transportation Security Administration has warned travelers that a Costco card is not a valid form of travel ID to fly. The TSA shared a message on Facebook on Wednesday, June 4, to dispel rumors that travelers can use their Costco cards at airports. 'We love hotdogs and rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not,' the government agency wrote. The post prompted a chorus of amusing responses from commenters. 'So, you're saying we should bring you a chicken?' one person replied, while another Facebook user commented, 'I'm pretty sure that the Costco card is stronger than some passports.' The need for REAL IDs rolled out nationwide on May 7, and the majority of states now require them for domestic airline travel and access to federal buildings — although Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington accept Enhanced Driver's Licenses (EDL) as an alternative. The REAL ID is a form of identification that meets higher security standards set by the federal government. Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and it finally became a reality after a number of delays and pushbacks.

REAL IDs can be obtained through the DMV, though they do require you to provide more detailed documentation as compared to previous licenses and IDs. Because of this, it's wise to check your local DMV's website to ensure you have all the required paperwork before applying for one. Generally speaking, applicants will need to bring: One proof of identity (like a U.S. birth certificate or passport), one proof of Social Security number (like a Social Security card or W-2), two proofs of state residency (like a utility bill or rental agreement) and proof of name change if applicable. Applicants will need to bring originals or certified copies of all documentation — photocopies will not be accepted. And if you don't have a REAL ID yet but still need to fly domestically? You will be notified of your non-compliance, and may be directed to a separate area of the airport to receive additional screening. The same goes for federal buildings that require identification.

Costco cards good for 'hot dogs & rotisserie chickens,' not airports, TSA says
Costco cards good for 'hot dogs & rotisserie chickens,' not airports, TSA says The deadline for travelers to obtain a Real ID for domestic flights and accessing federal facilities was May 7. Show Caption Hide Caption Real ID explained: what it is, why it matters, and how to get yours Real ID requirements: everything you need to know about getting compliant for travel and ID. Costco memberships come with a variety of perks, including access to discounted products and services; however, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently debunked the rumor that customers' warehouse club cards substitute for a Real ID. TSA proclaimed in an X post on Wednesday, June 4: "We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not." TSA Pacific spokesperson Lorie Dankers told SFGate that the rumor of Costco cards being accepted as official identification pops up every year or so. When people try to use their warehouse club cards at airports, for instance, it could lead to delays and travel headaches, she added. Travel: You don't need a passport at these 7 US destinations that feel international As of May 7, travelers need a Real ID or other acceptable identification for domestic flights and accessing federal facilities. Those who haven't gotten one yet may be scrambling to figure out what they need to do before booking their next trip. One thing is for certain: They should probably leave their Costco membership cards at home. Here are the acceptable forms of identification, according to the TSA, as well as some background on how the most recent version of the Costco card rumor originated. Acceptable identification at the TSA checkpoint According to the TSA, valid forms of ID at airports include: Real ID-compliant driver's licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent) A temporary driver's license is not an acceptable form of identification. State-issued Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) or Enhanced ID (EID) U.S. passport U.S. passport card DHS trusted traveler cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST) U.S. Department of Defense ID, including IDs issued to dependents Permanent resident card Border crossing card An acceptable photo ID issued by a federally recognized Tribal Nation/Indian Tribe, including Enhanced Tribal Cards (ETCs) HSPD-12 PIV card Foreign government-issued passport Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada card Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization Card (I-766) U.S. Merchant Mariner Credential Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) How did the Costco card rumor come back up? Food blog Chowhound claimed in the initial version of an article titled "How Your Costco Card Could Save You At The Airport," that people's Costco cards could pass through TSA because it is considered a photo ID. The article cited Reddit, where users claimed their warehouse club cards helped them through airport security when they forgot or lost their regular ID. On June 4, the day TSA debunked the rumor on social media, Chowhound issued an update to the article, saying, "A previous version of this article stated TSA is likely to accept a Costco membership card in lieu of a valid form of ID. TSA does not explicitly state you can use a Costco card as a form of identification, explaining, 'The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name and current address to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint, where you may be subject to additional screening.'" The update concludes with: "Now with the Real ID requirements, (a Costco card) is even less likely to get you through TSA quickly or successfully." If someone tried using a Costco card at an airport, they would likely be pulled from the TSA checkpoint line for further questioning about other personal information, such as their two previous home addresses, Dankers told SFGate.
