About this form

Use this form to pay for the TSA ConfirmID Fee when an air traveler 18 or older has lost or does not have an acceptable form of identification to present at the TSA checkpoint.

If you are 18 or older and do not have an acceptable form of identification (ID), such as a passport or REAL ID-compliant drivers license, you may use this form to pay the $45 TSA ConfirmID fee. TSA will attempt to verify your identity so you can proceed through security screening. However, TSA cannot guarantee you will be cleared to travel.

TSA ConfirmID is optional. If you do not have acceptable identification and choose not to use TSA ConfirmID, you may be unable to proceed through the security checkpoint. 

Fraud or other criminal activity related to this process may result in federal penalties.

What you need for TSA ConfirmID

Each traveler age 18 or older without an acceptable form of ID must complete the TSA ConfirmID process separately.  Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• Travelers legal name: You may pay on someone elses behalf, but you must enter the travelers exact legal name on the TSA ConfirmID form.
• Travelers date of travel: Payment is valid for 10 days beginning on the date of travel entered on the form. If you travel after the 10-day period expires, you must pay the fee again.
• Payment method: A valid bank account (ACH), debit card, credit card, Venmo or PayPal account to pay the $45 fee.
• Valid email address: Use an email address you can easily access. You will receive a confirmation email from notification@pay.gov, which you must present as proof of payment at the TSA checkpoint.

No account required: You do not need to create a Pay.gov account to complete this transaction.
