The passport is to prove US citizenship. Otherwise you cannot reasonably distinguish between permanent residents and citizens. Both can have a driver's license.

The passport is to prove US citizenship. Otherwise you cannot reasonably distinguish between permanent residents and citizens. Both can have a driver's license. Visa holders can have a driver's license too but it mentions the expiration date of your visa.

> The passport is to prove US citizenship. That's an incredibly flawed thing to ask for with domestic flights, though. Most US citizens don't have a passport at all.

  A birth certificate or social security card would probably suffice, too.

    Not a social security card, as it is explicitly not a valid ID. It even says so on the card.

This is not true. There’s no need to distinguish permanent residents from citizens because both have the exact same rights concerning domestic flights.
