In case anyone else has Global Entry, the Global Entry ID card is Real ID compliant.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoIn what case would you use the Global Entry ID card over a passport? EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone, TIL! Will have to see if TSA can use my GE ID card to lookup my boarding pass (like they can do with a driver's license, passport, or DoD CAC) next time I fly.
- jhart99 6y agoThey can use it to lookup a boarding pass if you use the Known Traveler ID number from the card when booking.
- sephamorr 6y agoMy global entry card conveniently fits in my wallet, unlike my passport which is otherwise not needed for US domestic travel.

- ghaff 6y agoPassport is presumably harder to replace if I lose--and hoses any upcoming international trips. You don't really need your Global Entry ID for anything so it's a good card to use for ID while keeping the cards you may really need later in the trip (or even just at the gate) somewhere safe.
- jhart99 6y agoThe only time you need the Global Entry card is when crossing the land borders with Canada or Mexico where that card will let you use the special lanes while your passport doesn't. But for air travel, it isn't needed.
- mcpherrinm 6y agoI always travel with two forms of ID, carried separately, in case one gets lost or damaged. Usually my NEXUS card and (real-id) drivers license. Passports are a bit more awkward to carry and can't go in a wallet (usa has passport cards but I'm not a us passport holder)
- ghaff 6y agoWhen traveling (not currently) I started carrying and using my Global Entry card after managing to lose my license between the curb and security a couple years ago. This way I keep my license safe in my wallet and just get a card out at a time when I'm usually tired and juggling stuff that doesn't really matter much if I lose and have a backup in my bag.
