I will be traveling later this week, boarding an airplane to return to Boston, and then later this summer, Amtrak to the Bakken. I was reminded that when traveling, because I am a legal citizen of the US, I must carry certain documents:
I must show my ID when:
- Pulled over by the police
- Making purchases on my department store credit card
- When I show up for a doctor's appointment
- When filling out a credit card or loan application
- When applying for any kind of insurance
- When filling out college applications
- When donating blood
- When obtaining certain prescription drugs
- When making some debit purchases, especially when out of state
- When collecting a boarding pass for airline or train travel
Speaking of passports, the price for a first-time passport goes up 35% today, from $100 to $135. I guess the recession has not hit some agencies in the US government.
