Can I take a US domestic flight as a foreigner without my passport?

If you don't leave the United States, you do not need a passport - remember that most Americans have no passport at all.

You do need a 'Secure Government Issued ID'. That could be - aside from a biometric passport from any country:

  • a State issued Driver's License - if your state does already have Secure Driver's Licenses (Florida does have them)
  • a State issued ID card (issued if you don't have a Driver's License)
  • a Global Entry card
  • maybe some other more state specific ID cards
  • not your employer's badge - it isn't government issued
  • not any foreign ID card - it has to come from the US government
  • not any foreign Driver's License (unfortunately)

From what you wrote, I think if you don't have a Driver's License of your state, you might be out of luck. A photocopy would be worthless, because there is no possibility to check it for authenticity - it is easy to change something and photocopy it again.
