flying domestically without ID

[ER_Hopeful]

we'll (wife, me and 20 y.o DD) be flying to HI, but DD does not have a driver's license yet, only a driver's learning permit, she does have an expired passport, she'll bring those plus social security card, birth certificate, doctors prescription. will that be sufficient? anything else to bring?

Here’s the TSA list of acceptable IDs Acceptable Identification at the TSA Checkpoint | Transportation Security Administration

Is there time to get her passport renewed?

 

[MissMolly]

They will accept expired passports for up to one year (in addition to another valid form of ID). Why not just have her get a state issued ID and not have to worry?

From the TSA

Forgot Your ID?​

In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You will be subject to additional screening, to include a patdown and screening of carry-on property.

You will not be allowed to enter the security checkpoint if your identity cannot be confirmed, you choose to not provide proper identification or you decline to cooperate with the identity verification process.

TSA recommends that you arrive at least two hours in advance of your flight time.

Get there as early as possible and she'll probably be ok with you there to help confirm her identity

We made it , it was pretty easy actually. They checked her expired passport, driver's permit and confirmed my relationship with her. She had to go to a separate lane after that for bag inspection thou

I had a TENS unit installed last fall and figured I'd be getting a cavity search when we flew in May. As it turned out, we got the TSA pre-check status for the flight and they didn't even make me get out of my wheel chair.

SO, you just never know. Another time, they took every item out of my carry on and checked it for explosive residue. EVERY item. That was before the TENS unit. Go figure.
