1. Understanding Domestic Flights for Undocumented Travelers

Can undocumented individuals travel to Hawaii? Yes, traveling to Hawaii is considered a domestic flight. Just like any other state within the U.S., the TSA guidelines apply.

To travel safely and confidently, here’s a detailed look at what you need to know about domestic flights:

1.1. Acceptable Forms of Identification

What identification can undocumented individuals use for domestic flights? The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) accepts various forms of identification.

The TSA accepts the following forms of identification from undocumented individuals:

• State photo identity card
• State driver’s license
• Unexpired foreign passport
• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Employment Authorization Card
• Military ID
• Trusted traveler cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST) issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
• Border crossing cards
• Native American tribal ID cards
• Airline or airport photo ID cards compliant with TSA regulations
• Transportation worker ID credentials

For a comprehensive list of TSA-acceptable forms of ID, you can visit the official TSA website.

1.2. REAL ID Requirements

Do undocumented individuals need a REAL ID to board domestic flights? While a REAL ID is becoming increasingly important, it is not currently mandatory.

As of May 7, 2025, individuals boarding domestic flights and entering federal facilities will need to present a REAL ID. However, until then, you can use other forms of identification.

If you are planning to use a state-issued identification or driver’s license, make sure it is a REAL ID. If not, you can use another acceptable form of identification, such as a valid and unexpired foreign passport or a USCIS Employment Authorization Card. According to the Department of Homeland Security, REAL ID compliance will enhance security standards for identification.

1.3. Preparing for Your Flight

How can undocumented individuals prepare for domestic flights to ensure a smooth experience? Proper preparation is essential for a stress-free flight.

Follow these steps to prepare for your domestic flight:

1. Identification Ready: Ensure that the name, date of birth, and gender marker on your ticket exactly match the ID you will be using.
2. Secure Devices: Protect your electronic devices with a strong password. The government may ask for your phone, but you are not obligated to provide your password. Keeping your information secure is paramount.
3. Safety Plan: Designate at least two people who have access to your important documents and contact information for your attorney, community organizations, family, and friends. Share your flight information with them before traveling and discuss what to do if anything goes wrong.

1.4. Navigating TSA Interactions

How should undocumented individuals respond to questions from TSA agents? Know your rights and how to exercise them.

• Right to Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment. Refusing to answer questions may lead to prolonged questioning or detainment. When in doubt, do not answer questions about your citizenship or immigration status or sign any paperwork without legal advice.
• Luggage Searches: TSA is permitted to conduct administrative searches of passengers and their belongings to look for prohibited items. Criminal searches may only be carried out by law enforcement personnel, such as the FBI or local law enforcement officers.
• Pilot’s Authority: A pilot has the right to refuse to fly a passenger if they believe the passenger is a threat to the safety of the flight. This decision must be reasonable and based on observations, not stereotypes.

1.5. AB 60 Licenses

Can undocumented individuals in California fly with an AB 60 license? It is generally not recommended.

TSA has been inconsistent regarding the acceptance of AB 60 licenses. TSA could use the license as a basis to stop someone, question them, and refer them to ICE for possible deportation or removal hearings or immigration detention. This can happen even if the passenger is not traveling internationally.

1.6. Flying with a Foreign Passport or Employment Authorization Document Card

Is it permissible to fly with a foreign passport or Employment Authorization Document Card? Yes, it is generally allowed.

The list of approved identification to fly domestically includes foreign government-issued passports (must be valid) and/or a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization Card (I-766). However, there have been reports of individuals who could not fly with these documents due to erroneous TSA agent denials. In such instances, inform the TSA agent that these are acceptable documents according to posted Transportation Security Administration guidelines.

1.7. Resources for Additional Information

Where can undocumented travelers find the most up-to-date guidelines? Always check official sources for the latest information.

It is recommended that you review TSA’s most up-to-date guidelines before your domestic flight.

2. Navigating Ground Transportation: Buses and Trains

Can undocumented individuals travel via public buses and trains? Yes, but it’s important to be aware of your rights.

Here’s how to navigate ground transportation safely and confidently:

2.1. Understanding Your Rights

What rights do undocumented individuals have when using public buses and trains? Knowing your rights is crucial.

There have been reports, especially during the Trump Administration, of Border Patrol agents conducting immigration checks without warrants on buses and trains. Even though Customs Border Patrol (CBP) has publicly said that its agents are prohibited from boarding buses/trains and questioning passengers without warrants or a company’s consent, it’s a good idea for any passenger to be aware of the following rights:

• Right to Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent.
• Do Not Answer Questions: When in doubt, do not answer questions about your citizenship or immigration status or sign any paperwork without the advice of a lawyer. Do not lie—silence is often better.
• Valid Immigration Papers: If you have valid immigration papers, you can provide them. Never provide false documents.
• Refuse a Search: You can refuse a search of your belongings by saying “I do not consent to a search.”
• Right to Record: You have the right to record videos of immigration agents.
• Officer Information: If you are stopped or searched, you have the right to ask for the officer’s name or ID number.

2.2. Identification Requirements

Is photo identification required for local subway and bus travel? Generally, no.

Photo identification isn’t required when using the local subway systems within a metropolitan area. To travel beyond city limits (e.g., riding Amtrak), you need a valid photo identification. To travel on a bus within a metropolitan area, all you need is a schedule and fare. To ride to farther locations (e.g., riding with Greyhound), you need a valid photo identification.

2.3. Practical Tips for Ground Transportation

What practical steps can undocumented individuals take to ensure a safe journey on buses and trains? Preparation and awareness are key.

• Plan Your Route: Always plan your route in advance and be aware of any potential checkpoints or areas where immigration enforcement might be more prevalent.
• Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with any changes in policies or enforcement practices that may affect your travel.
• Carry Necessary Documents: If you have valid immigration papers, keep them with you but only present them if necessary.
• Know Your Legal Rights: Familiarize yourself with your rights and be prepared to assert them if needed.
• Emergency Contacts: Have emergency contacts readily available in case you encounter any issues during your travel.

3. Driving as an Undocumented Individual

Can undocumented individuals drive legally? It depends on the state.

Like citizens, certain noncitizens may be eligible to drive legally. In some states, certain noncitizens are eligible to apply for a driver’s license. Check your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to determine if you are eligible to apply for a driver’s license regardless of your immigration status.

3.1. What to Do If Stopped by Law Enforcement

What should undocumented individuals do if stopped by law enforcement while driving? Knowing the proper procedure is crucial.

If you are stopped by either law enforcement or immigration enforcement while in your car, consider the following recommendations:

1. Stop Safely: Stop the car in a safe place as quickly as possible. Turn off the car, turn on the internal light, open the window partway, and place your hands on the wheel.
2. Show Documents: Upon request, show the police your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance.
3. Refuse a Search: If an officer or immigration agent asks to search your car, you can refuse. However, if the police believe your car contains evidence of a crime, they can search it without your consent.
4. Remain Silent: Both drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent. If you’re a passenger, you can also ask if you’re free to leave. If yes, silently leave.

3.2. Navigating Immigration-Related Questions

Can the police ask about immigration status during a traffic stop? Yes, but you have the right to remain silent.

Under the Fifth Amendment, you have the right to remain silent and do not have to answer questions about where you were born, whether you’re a U.S. citizen, or how you entered the country.

Note: Separate rules apply at international borders and airports and for individuals on certain nonimmigrant visas, including tourists and business travelers. If you’re not a U.S. citizen and have valid immigration papers, show them if an immigration agent requests them. Do not lie about your citizenship status or provide fake documents.

3.3. Understanding Border Patrol Checkpoints

What are Border Patrol checkpoints and how do they operate? Awareness of these checkpoints is important for drivers.

The United States Border Patrol operates traffic checkpoints, including 33 permanent traffic checkpoints near the Mexico-United States border. Border Patrol can conduct checkpoints within 100 miles of the border. DHS sometimes enters buses or trains and asks for passengers’ documents.

Along these checkpoints, Border Patrol agents may stop a vehicle for brief questioning of its occupants even if there is no reason to believe that the particular vehicle contains undocumented individuals. Furthermore, Border Patrol agents have wide discretion to refer motorists selectively to a secondary inspection area for additional brief questioning.

3.4. California Checkpoint Locations

Where are some notable checkpoints in California? Knowing the locations can help with travel planning.

Below are some noted checkpoints within California. Be prepared. Plan your travel route and check before traveling.

• San Clemente: located 7 miles south of San Clemente on Interstate 5.
• Temecula: located 24 miles north of Escondido on Interstate 15.
• Highway 79: located 1 mile west of Sunshine Summit.
• I-8 West: located 3 miles east of Pine Valley on Interstate 8.
• Highway 94: located 24 miles east of San Diego on California State Route 94.
• Highway 78/86: located just south of the intersection of California State Routes 78 and 86, just west of the Salton Sea, controlling northbound traffic only.
• Highway 111: located between Niland and Bombay Beach.
• Highway S2: located 7 miles north of Ocotillo and I-8 in eastern San Diego County on S2 (Imperial Hwy/Sweeney Pass Road) between I-8 and State Route 78.

3.5. Best Practices for Safe Driving

What are the best practices for undocumented individuals to ensure safe driving experiences? Preparation and caution are key.

• Keep Documents Updated: Always ensure your driver’s license, registration, and insurance are current and valid.
• Drive Safely: Obey all traffic laws and drive responsibly to avoid being stopped by law enforcement.
• Plan Your Route: Be aware of potential checkpoints and plan your route accordingly.
• Emergency Plan: Have a plan in place in case you are stopped, including knowing your rights and having contact information for legal support.
• Stay Calm: If stopped, remain calm and polite, and assert your rights respectfully.

4. Traveling to U.S. Territories

Can undocumented individuals with temporary protection travel to U.S. Territories? Yes, but with precautions.

Undocumented individuals with temporary protection (e.g., TPS/DACA recipients) may travel to the U.S. Territories without Advance Parole. However, it’s important to know where and how to travel to the U.S. Territories safely.

4.1. Important Considerations for Travel to U.S. Territories

What are the key considerations for undocumented individuals traveling to U.S. Territories? Knowing these factors is vital for safe travel.

Traveling to the U.S. Territories without DACA, even though a person has never technically left the U.S., could result in a referral to ICE for removal.

4.2. Preparations Before Traveling

What preparations should undocumented individuals make before traveling to U.S. Territories? Proper preparation ensures a smoother journey.

1. Valid DACA: Make sure your DACA is valid during your entire time abroad. Do not allow your DACA to expire during any of the time you are planning to be outside the U.S. mainland, even if you have a renewal pending. Make sure to be on the mainland well before it expires with no chance of any gap.
2. USCIS Documents: Bring your USCIS documents showing your granted deferred status to facilitate your return. Depending on where you travel, you may be subject to certain processes, including customs inspections. Having proof of your granted deferred status can help make this process go smoother.
3. Avoid Layovers Outside the U.S: Make sure there are no layovers outside the U.S. states and territories. It is critical to ensure that there will not be a planned or emergency landing in a foreign country. For example, if you are traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands, make sure you do not enter the Dominican Republic, due to bad weather, natural disasters, etc. Similarly, while overseas, be aware of any boat trip that might accidentally result in you being outside of U.S. waters, which can jeopardize your return to the U.S. An inspection doesn’t always happen when someone exits the U.S., but a savvy traveler will know their route and any possibility of diversion before they travel.

4.3. Resources for Additional Information

Where can undocumented travelers find more information about traveling to U.S. Territories? Refer to official sources for reliable details.

You may also find helpful information on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website.
