Passport services in Ohio

Destination guide · Ohio

Do you need a passport to travel to Ohio?

All destinations

U.S. citizens traveling to Ohio on a route entirely within the United States do not need a passport. For domestic flights, adults 18 and older need identification accepted by TSA. A REAL ID-compliant license, passport book or passport card are among the options.

Flying to Ohio

REAL ID enforcement began May 7, 2025. A noncompliant state license is not enough on its own; use another TSA-accepted ID. Domestic-flight ID rules are federal, not a separate passport requirement imposed by Ohio.

REAL ID and passport options

Traveling with children

TSA does not require identification for children under 18 on domestic flights. Check the airline’s rules, especially for unaccompanied minors. A child traveling alone needs acceptable ID to receive TSA PreCheck screening.

Child passports for international trips

Driving and international visitors

Crossing between U.S. states is not an international border crossing. Drivers should check state licensing and rental requirements. Entering the U.S. from another country has separate passport, visa or ESTA rules; domestic-flight ID does not establish permission to enter or stay.

Official guidance for visitors to the U.S.

If your itinerary includes a foreign country, international entry and transit requirements also apply. A passport card cannot be used for international air travel.
