Identification?

[Banks822]

My husband's license has cracked in his wallet. He went to get a new one today, but they mail them now and it takes 8-10 days. We cruise on June 14th which means I don't have 8 days! He doesn't have a passport either. Will they let him on the ship with his license cracked?

I would think so along as the photo is still legible. Is it cracked but still together?

Does he have his birth certificate? He can board w/ birth certificate and photo ID. Don't think it would have to be drivers license. Does he have a work photo ID? Double check with carnival. The quicker the better.

I know here in Florida you can go to the tax collectors office and get a new one on the spot.

might be worth checking into.

If traveling using the birth certificate and photo ID, the photo ID is supposed to be a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID card, sometimes they will take a school ID as long as it has a photo and birthdate on it).

Yeah, your Costco one ain't gonna work.

 

Though my homemade business card sized copy of my Passport has worked sometimes.

Yes, same thing happened to friend of ours. There was no problems at all, they just looked at it.

I called Carnival and asked. The lady said for him to tape it up and bring it along with the paper showing his new one is in the way. We're praying that works! Thanks for all the advice 😊

I cruised a couple weeks ago, and one of my party only had a paper version of his driver license (hadn't received the hard copy in the mail yet) and his birth certificate. Security took a few extra minutes to look at it, but didn't have any issue. No problem coming back through customs either. You should be fine.

That's our plan. I'm hoping it works for us as well!

Well, I super glued his license and we managed to get thru the airport and POM. We're currently waiting to board the Breeze!

North Carolina licenses have had a number of issues. The cracking is a common one. Technically, this is no longer valid. Any reasonable person will accept it, especially if accompanied by the receipt that North Carolina issues when a replacement is requested. I lived in NC for over 25 years and never had an issue except once at a Wal-Mart pharmacy. An overzealous pharmacy tech refused to accept my cracked license. She was rude and obnoxious about it too. I complained to her superior, took the Rx and the same cracked license to another Wal-Mart and got the Rx. The ugly person got fired.

 

Other common NC driver's license issues are fading, photos self-erasing and delaminating from the paper core. I hope that the requirement that the license be issued from a central office will have eliminated all these things.
