Just because I'm paranoid I'm wondering about the wording of the biometrics notice letter. It mentions to bring your passport / driver's license / government issued ID.

My passport from Canada is expiring in March so in late January I mailed off an application for a new passport. I had to send my old passport back with the application (they'll send it back to me with the new one but hole punched so it's unusable obviously).

In the meantime I don't have a passport available to bring to my biometrics appointment and I have a feeling it won't arrive before next Friday! Will they be okay if I just bring my driver's license and other ID? Like green card, birth certificate, etc? I can also bring a photocopy of my passport that I have.

Anyone with experience?

Green card is government issued so that is enough as long as its not expired.

Don't you have a valid State ID or US driver's license?

I do have a valid state driver's license for Washington that I was planning to bring. I just wanted to be sure it wasn't passport AND other ID, but passport OR other ID since the wording confused me. Well, that's reassuring!

You don't need a passport for biometrics. At the support center that we went to for biometrics for AOS they didn't even check any ID at all! They just looked that we have an appointment letter (didn't even read it, just saw that we had some piece of paper, so it could have been anything), gave us a form to fill out and took fingerprints.

green card... that's it. ... if you are at that stage. ( I'm waiting on my I-751, so I have a temporary green card )

- just went to my final biometric appointment in Detroit in January, they checked my ID with form to make sure it was me.

unless you don't have green card ... they need any form of government ID ( my first biometric appointment )

- used my Ontario drivers license. they were ok with it.

Good luck
