The VALID Act would prohibit airlines from transporting passengers who use certain Department of Homeland Security documents or mobile applications as their only form of identification. Specifically, airlines could not accept the CBP One Mobile Application, DHS Form I-385 (Notice to Report), or DHS Form I-862 (Notice to Appear) as valid identification for boarding domestic flights, and would face a permanent ban from operating if they knowingly transport passengers using these documents. The bill affects air carriers and foreign air carriers operating in the United States, as well as any individuals who might rely on these alternative forms of identification when traveling by air. The legislation contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines beyond requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to enforce these identification restrictions.
