Hello, I am due to arrive Oct. 2 for the NS Forum and I am only a sophomore (15 yrs. old). I do not have a government issued photo id. Will this be a problem, and what can I do about it? I don't enough time to get one so I'm a little worried...help.

I've got the same problem. I'm only 16 and am going on the 16th. I suppose a passport would be okay though right? They accept school id's according to the packet we were sent

I had the same question and I called NYLF. I was informed the only reason they suggested a photo id was for the air plane. So you should be okay, just be sure to bring at least your school id. If you're still not sure you can always call NYLF.

Yeah, the best plan would be bringing your school ID. Im bringing my ID card for the base in NJ cause Im a dependent...

One problem: My school doesn't even issue school id cards. Who should I call with NYLF?

Okay, there is a number on the back of your Info. packet, (703) 584-9402, call that one. It might take about five minutes becuase the first part was automated I believe, but they are pretty quick. Whoever answers the phone will be equipped to answer any other questions you might have. If for some reason, that fails as well, ns_adm@nylf.org, I'm not sure how prompt that is because I've never used it. Good Luck!

if its just for the plane dont worry because if ur 16 or under (or maybe under 18) just tell the people when you check in. thats what ive done in the past, and they just wave you past. lol, im sure u could bring a birth certificate or something...

so would a driver's permit pass?

um....is there a picture of you on it? I don't have one so.....not trying to sound stupid...the most important part is the photo.

yeah, I read over the handook they sent us and your supposed to have one just in case because various sites need them for security reasons.

if you dont have one or anything I went to the local DMV (Department of motor vehical) and got one. It looks just like a drivers licence except its not... Was only like 17 bucks and they did everything the same day.. so if your stressing out about it thats the easiest thing to do. Im heading down the 16th

Generally, driver's permits are not acceptable forms of ID.

ALL states issue ID cards, I believe. Call your DMV or DOT or whoever gives you your licenses.

well, u guys got school ids? i think those count. seeing as it has ur picture there. do they work?

School IDs are fine.
The point is that your name and picture are together on a legit piece of plastic.
