感恩节出行季临近，美国运输安全管理局重申ConfirmID规则：无合规证件旅客可付45美元核验身份，付费后10天内有效
美国运输安全管理局（TSA，总部位于弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯县斯普林菲尔德）重申其 ConfirmID 身份核验安排：自 2026 年 2 月 1 日起，未出示可接受身份证件又仍希望乘机的旅客，可选择支付 45 美元使用 TSA ConfirmID 替代身份核验系统，在安检口核验身份。感恩节假期临近，11 月 26 日为感恩节，节后周日通常为机场全年最繁忙的出行日之一，TSA 提醒旅客提前核对证件。
TSA 表示，45 美元费用对应 10 天的旅行期。该局敦促尚无 REAL ID 的旅客尽早向当地车管部门预约更新证件，并建议使用 ConfirmID 的旅客在出行前在线缴清费用。
程序方面，TSA 称，所有未持可接受证件的旅客，包括出示不符合 REAL ID 标准的州驾照或身份证者，在办理登机手续后、进入安检队列前，将被引导至可选的 ConfirmID 核验流程。使用 ConfirmID 的旅客将面临额外的身份核验、安检措施与可能的延误；未提前缴费者到场办理，延误时间更长，可能错过航班。
TSA 高级官员 Adam Stahl 在该局公告中表示，ConfirmID 为未带 REAL ID 或其他可接受证件的旅客提供了一个选择，费用用以让不符合证件要求的旅客、而非纳税人，承担核验处理成本。可接受证件包括 REAL ID 合规驾照、美国护照与护照卡、国防部证件、国土安全部可信旅客卡等，完整清单载于 TSA 官网证件页面。REAL ID 要求已于 2025 年 5 月 7 日起在全美机场执行。
Ahead of Thanksgiving Travel, TSA Restates ConfirmID Rules: Travelers Without Acceptable ID May Pay a $45 Fee for Alternative Verification, Valid for a 10-Day Travel Period
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), headquartered in Springfield, Fairfax County, Virginia, has restated its ConfirmID arrangement ahead of the Thanksgiving travel period: since February 1, 2026, passengers who do not present an acceptable form of identification and still want to fly may pay a $45 fee to use TSA ConfirmID, a modernized alternative identity verification system, to establish identity at security checkpoints. Thanksgiving falls on November 26 this year, and the Sunday after the holiday is typically among the busiest air travel days of the year.
TSA says the $45 fee covers a 10-day travel period. The agency urges travelers who do not have a REAL ID to schedule an appointment at their local motor vehicle department to update their ID as soon as possible, and urges ConfirmID users to pay the fee online before traveling.
Under the process, all travelers without an acceptable ID, including those presenting a non-REAL ID-compliant state driver's license or ID, are referred to the optional ConfirmID process upon check-in and before entering the security line. Travelers using ConfirmID are subject to additional ID verification, screening measures and potential delays, and those who have not paid in advance face longer delays that may result in a missed flight, TSA says.
Adam Stahl, the senior official performing the duties of deputy administrator of TSA, said in the agency's announcement that ConfirmID is an option for travelers who do not bring a REAL ID or other acceptable form of ID, and that the fee ensures non-compliant travelers, rather than taxpayers, cover the cost of the process. Acceptable forms of ID include REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses, U.S. passports and passport cards, Department of Defense IDs and DHS trusted traveler cards; the full list is published on TSA's website. REAL ID enforcement at U.S. airports began on May 7, 2025.
