To qualify for BasicMed a pilot must possess which document?

• A. A current and valid U.S. driver's license
• B. A current FAA medical certificate
• C. A passport
• D. A state-issued photo ID

Answer: (A)

A current and valid U.S. driver's license is the document required to qualify for BasicMed. Under BasicMed you can fly without an FAA medical certificate, but you must meet several conditions, and having a valid driver's license is one essential piece. This license serves as the official state-level credential and proof you’re legally allowed to drive, which BasicMed uses as the primary form of identification and verification. A passport or a generic state photo ID doesn’t satisfy this specific requirement on its own, and an FAA medical certificate isn’t needed when operating under BasicMed (though you may still hold one).
