Can h4 dependent get virginia state id card with receipt notice

[criticalpath]

I am in virginia , can my H4 dependents get state id with h1b extension receipt notice (scanned copy printout) ?

Original visa validity ends in the month of september 2018, so wanted to the best possible solution to get a state id for dependents.

If dependents dont have any state id , is it possible to travel within USA locally in air flights using expired visa/valid indian passport ?

State ID issue/renewal should not be a problem. DMV's do not issue driver's license with receipt notice. Moreover very few airports accept State ID / License. Good to have passport always handy as alternate, if not might loose the flight if TSA do not allow the state id. Though the visa's are expired, am sure you might have filed extension before the expiry. So they should be good to fly with the receipt notice. But most of them avoid travelling via airports, if its nearest destinations or min 8 hrs good to use Bus, Trains.

Did they apply for Extension of Status?

The bolded part above, as worded, isn't correct.  Airports/TSA accept most federally-compliant State IDs, including Virginia-issued. 

Getting a Virginia ID for someone in OP's situation is a different matter.

Nashville does not accept State ID & License to fly anywhere. You got to have the Passport.

Nope. That's just not true. All US airports currently accept all state driver's licenses and state IDs.

I live in Nashville, TN and I always show my passport dude. They do announce to show passport when you are in line. Try once flying from Nashville.

Just because you choose to show a passport doesn't mean other people can't show a state driver's license or state ID. The TSA identification page shows all the forms of ID accepted, the first of which is a state driver's license or state ID. The Nashville Airport security screening page says the TSA handles screening at that airport and links right to that TSA identification page. The majority of Americans don't even have a passport (and some can't get one for various reasons); it is absurd to think that they cannot fly from Nashville.

Who is 'they'?  If by 'they' you mean the TSA, check this link, click on Identification which leads to this. 

You can choose to show your passport, but State DMV-issued DLs and IDs are just as valid to clear past TSA.

I always just show my DL when im flying domestic. Doesn't matter where, the rule is for all of the US.

Most Americans don't even have a passport. Are you really saying that they can not fly???

JoeF : I am not talking about citizens/Americans here, I am talking about Immigrants, in few airports like Nashville they request to show passports because many of the undoc immigrants carry a fake state ID / License. Hope this is clear.

Undoc immigrants with fake IDs don't fly; TSA has the means to detect fake IDs. 

Not all immigrants have, or carry, a valid passport and are free to show a State-issued ID or DL in Nashville, or any domestic airport. 

The premise of your post is inaccurate.

You are still wrong.

How would they know if somebody who shows a DL is an immigrant or a citizen? They can not. Therefore, a DL is enough. Case closed. Or are you shouting in the airport, "hey, look, I'm an immigrant"???

And fake ids can pretty easily be spotted. Every grocery store clerk can do that...

The bottom line: There is no such requirement to show a passport when going on a domestic flight. A DL or other government-issued ID, like a state ID, is enough.

And what Provence said.

Undocumented people tend to avoid contact with anything government-related, so they won't fly. Also, flying is expensive, and undocumented people usually don't make much money, so they wouldn't even be able to afford it

So funny 😄 😄 😄 Looks like you are screaming at me now. Any way until you experience you don't understand. All the best for new experience.

Ahh, you are admitting that you are wrong. You apparently just can't bring yourself to actually saying it.

Again, I ask you, since you are claiming that the alleged rule doesn't apply to US citizen, how do they know if a person is a citizen or not? It simply is not possible. So, either they want to see a passport from everybody, which would mean US citizens who don't have a passport can't fly, or they are fine with DL or state ID. Logic 101. Case closed.

[02112018]

Cool down chill. Case Closed. I said what I experienced why are you increasing your blood pressure. Having multiple ID proofs is not a CRIME.

Accept that you're wrong, and all would be well indeed! 

But I digress. Back to OP.

JoeF & Provence, This is a discussion and help forum not to battle ground. Grow up dudes.

Huh? You posted a falsehood, and you are still not admitting that you were wrong. It is obvious you are the one who needs to grow up.

To repeat: for domestic air travel in the US, from any airport, including in TN, DL or state ID IS perfectly fine.

Now, you may be confused because of the REAL ID Act of 2005, which specifies requirements for IDs used for air travel. Some states, including TN, are compliant, other states got an extension, currently until 2020. Only American Samoa is not compliant according to this Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_ID_Act

So, people living in American Samoa can't use their DL for air travel, but everybody else can.

[Provence]

Agreed.. however, factually incorrect advice/data aka Nashville does not accept State ID & License to fly anywhere. You got to have the Passport ought to be brought attention to by those more knowledgeable. All members deserve facts.

[02112018]

Ok so all murthy users : as experts (joef, provence) mentioned above carry only STATE ID and fly, if it is not accepted by any chance any time, drive back home to get the passport, miss your flight, waste your time & money and repeat. Not my advise.

Case re-opened & closed 🙂

[JoeF]

DL or state id are ALWAYS accepted at US airports for domestic flights. TSA says so. And they are more knowledgeable about this than one particular immature poster here, who has never even provided any evidence of his claim (of course, he can't, since his claim is wrong.)

 

 

 

[Provence]

I have ALWAYS used my DMV-issued drivers license for identification when flying domestic. Never an issue! TSA is unambiguous about that.

And I am not an expert by any stretch. Just a volunteer forum participant.
