All U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents are eligible candidates for rtGO Program Membership. In order to participate in the Registered Traveler program, each applicant must present two documents to establish identity and eligibility. TSA has established a list of acceptable documents that will be used to satisfy these requirements. One document must be a government-issued photo ID, one must contain security features capable of being verified through authentication technology and one must confirm that the applicant is a U.S. Citizen, a U.S. National, or a lawful Permanent Resident of the U.S. If a single document meets all of these requirements, a second document from the list is still required. The table below lists the options for meeting these requirements.

¹Not all driver licenses or ID cards issued by states and possessions contain security features capable of being authenticated via technology. Only individuals from states and possessions that issue IDs or drivers licenses with these security features may submit this document in order to meet the identity requirements. As an alternative, a U.S. passport or unexpired foreign passport with these features may be submitted to fulfill the requirement.

² Not all foreign passports have this capability. Only passports that can be authenticated using technology can be presented to satisfy this requirement.

Using a U.S. Passport to establish identity will likely expedite the Security Threat Assessment process since passports are well suited to assist in adjudicating cases.
