Theoretically, if you go to the dmv asap, and get one issued it will be in the system. Then, you can use the procedure for a lost or stolen ID. Also you should call the airport and ask about their procedures if possible.

Thanks, good tip. They are going to the DMV this afternoon, hoping to replace the non-photo learner's permit with one that has a photo, or whatever else they might recommend given the time constraints. I don't think it's possible to get a Real ID expedited but perhaps you can get a non-Real ID learners permit with photo. We shall see. I think this qualifies under TSA's rule:

>Driver's licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent)

I have heard a few tips from you and others about the workarounds for lost and stolen, etc., but I am wary of doing this. We are going to be a family of 4 traveling together and if one of us gets stuck, it will be a mess 😧 Travel is hard enough already.

For sure. Good luck, and remember that most of the staff at the airport want to make it work too.
