Can one fly domestically in the US with only a work permit as ID?

I have that same permit also. Obama made it possible for us who came at a young age illegally to be able to stay in this country legally to work and get a driver’s lisence . Only thing is, it expires every two years and have to get it renwed for $475 , prices went up. Yes she can board the plane with it, I have before.

Now that we’ve cleared up the fact that the document is a work permit, I’ll assume it’s an I-766 Employment Authorization Document (image searches indicate that the card itself says “Employment Authorization Card,” and that the indication “Form I-766” is found on the back of the card).

According to the TSA, this document can be used to board a flight. The list is at https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification, and the last entry, as of this writing, is

Immigration and Naturalization Service Employment Authorization Card (I-766)

This page lists the forms of ID that are accepted by the US Transportation Security Administration for a domestic flight. A visa is not on the list. However:

Foreign government-issued passport

Is acceptable. Assuming she has a valid passport (presumably the one containing the visa), she can use that as ID.

Also note that a “Immigration and Naturalization Service Employment Authorization Card (I-766)” is an acceptable form of ID, if this is the document she possesses. It is hard to tell exactly what kind of “visa” she has (assuming she has not been taken by a scam). If you can update your question with a picture of it (with her personal information blacked out), we should be able to help you better.
