    Costco membership cards will not function as Real IDs at airports, the TSA said on social media.

      Sounds about right! Costco does not issue official Government ID’.

      They used to. I literally got my passport at a Costco.

          Yeah; it used to be something you could get done in the photo department. They take the picture, file the paperwork and print out the passport.

            It’s the Kirkland Passport - it’s actually just a rebranded US passport, but cheaper, and only Costco is allowed to sell it.

          No. US passports have been made overseas for years (decades?)
