Easy flying I.D. question.

[unicorn1]

This is an easy one for you veteran flyers, but I'm just trying to make sure all my bases are covered: What form of identification is needed, if any, for ticketed minor travelers accompanied by parents? I've heard birth certificates, but I don't think that's right, and my preference is to leave those at home. Thanks!

Nothing is needed. A birth certificate is needed only with a lap baby under 2. The TSA and airline agents may ask your kids for their names and ages, but that is it.

Have a great trip.

Really? In Canada, if you are over the age of 11, you must have government issued photo ID

Other than kids with passports kids in the US under the age of 16 don't generally have government issued ID (photo or otherwise). In fact, I don't think they can even GET government issued ID other than passports. (Maybe a state ID in some states?)

If you feel there is any need that you might have to prove their age anywhere, a photocopy is fine.. We did this with DGD when we went to WDW with her just before she turned 3..
