Legal as an ID and being accepted by an individual are two different things. Every agency will have different guidelines on what they will accept and some individuals may just be looking for a state issued document with a photo on it. I have seen people accept a credit card as proof of identification because it had the name and the photo of the individual on it.edorgon wrote:Keith,
I found your statement: "CHL is not a valid ID in Texas. It is only considered a valid secondary method of identification." very interesting and informative.
Just last week I traveled from Dulles IAP to ABIA. I showed the TSA agent at Dulles my CHL as ID. He seemed a bit confused and when I said, oh, thats my CHL I'll give you my DL, he said, no, this is good. And passed me through. Similar has happened at Detroit=Wayne, Denver, and even NY JFK. But at ABIA if I do it, they say, not valid. Need your DL.
Strange.

Re: Chl carry
If you have applied for he address change on your DL then you should be good. They just need to match your current physical address.Royflores wrote:I have my current adress on chl but dl has old adress can I still carry I have the paper showing I did my adress change with me

Re: Chl carry
CHL is not a valid ID in Texas. It is only considered a valid secondary method of identification. However, to get a CHL you need either a valid driver license or a state issued ID card and you must present one of those along with your CHL when asked for ID if carrying.ldj1002 wrote:Why wouldn't the CHL be Identification? It has it all on it. If LEO wouldn't think the CHL identified you than how would DL identify you?
