Photo ID

International journeys
Passengers must hold valid ID with a photograph i.e. International Passport or EU National ID. EU National IDs must be valid for entry into the country of intended destination. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have a valid photo ID. British Citizens must hold a valid 10-year passport. Please note that certain destinations insist on at least 6 months validity from the return date. UK Citizens can check out the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for passport, visa and health information, at www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo. Other nationalities should check with their own governments.

It is also your responsibility to check whether you need a visa to enter your destination country.

For British Citizens, as of 5th October 1998, under 16 year olds are required to have their own passport. Children already included on their parents' passports are not affected by this change and can continue to travel on these documents until they reach the age of 16 years or the parents' passport expires or is amended. In order for a child to travel on a parents' passport, the parent must be travelling with the child. Although family passports are still valid, a spouse who is not the main holder must have his/her own passport when travelling alone.
