Our e-tickets state that everyone must have identification at check-in. Obviously kids wouldn't have any ID so does anyone know if anything is required for kids - like a birth certificate? Thanks!
Children traveling domestically with their parents or legal guardians shouldn't need ID. We just got back (last December) from a trip that included a 16 month old baby and a five year old. No one ever even suggested that their parents provide ID. To really set you mind at ease, check your specific airline's web site or give them a call.
Ditto. We always have a certified birth certificate for each of our two children. The kids are now 9 & 10. I keep them in the journey pocket of my PassPorter guide. To date, we have not been asked for them.
We had DD's birth certificate and social security card and we had to show it at least 3 times coming and going in November and December.
And on a totally different subject -- you may want to let your children know they WILL see soldiers with big guns at the airport. I saw a little one freak out upon seeing the soldiers in uniform with their rifles. It can be a bit alarming to some children.
Thank you all for your help. It sounds like I should definitely carry her birth certificate and social security card to be on the safe side. Aprincessmom, thank you very much for the idea of warning her ahead of time about the soldiers in the airports. I hadn't even thought of that so I will definitely begin talking to her so she won't be frightened or alarmed when she sees them.
