Wait, why is the Caribbean the only place listed as "sea". If I just wash up on the shores of North Carolina, wouldn't I be entering from the sea? (And — sorta tangentially related — how are random people swimming in from the ocean handled? It's not like there's a ICE agent stationed every 50ft along the shore or anything...)Wes Kenney wrote:Do you carry that thing in your wallet?

From an entry to the US standpoint, it's only good for land/sea entry from Canada, Mexico, and (sea) Caribbean. I've got a regular passport book, but I don't like to carry it around unless I'm traveling.

What's the third reason?03Lightningrocks wrote:Not intentionally, but I have accidentally grabbed it from my wallet thinking it was my DL. Best I can remember, I have always caught myself before handing it over. I have two reasons for not wanting to show it to people asking for ID. One... I don't want to advertise I am carrying a weapon... Two... I don't want to advertise I am carrying a weapon.

Re: Used CHL as a form of ID?
Haven't done that one (yet), but I do sometimes space out a bit and try to pay for stuff with my employee ID and clock-in with my credit card.RSJ wrote:A situation got me wondering if any of this forum's members have used a CHL as an identification?
I keep my TX CHL on top of my DL to remind myself if stopped while driving to remember first and foremost to inform the officer.
I don't frequent bars or drink very often, but a few weeks ago I was with a friend when we were ID'ed (Note: I was NOT carrying) and mistakenly showed my top "ID".
I certainly got a weird look and a "oh, never seen one of those". I felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that the waitress must be wondering if I was drinking and carrying...
I practice the "concealed means concealed" mentality (again, I was NOT carrying, but same idea of keeping my CHL on the hush) and would rather NOT use it as an ID.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience?
