Children traveling with adults on domestic flights may not need a photo ID card; however, airlines may require the accompanying adult to show proof of age in the form of a birth certificate. You'll need to check with the airline on which you've booked travel for their specific rules regarding child identification. Children, even infants, traveling internationally will be subject to the same documentation requirements as adults. This means that if you are planning an international trip, even if a baby has not yet been born but will be born by flight time, you will need to make arrangements for a passport.

When a child is traveling as an unaccompanied minor, the adult dropping the child at the airport as well as the adult picking the child up at his or her destination will be required to show identification. Additionally, the airline will need to be notified in advance with the contact details of the adult retrieving the child at the final destination.

While airlines may not specifically require children to travel with individual photo identification, it is never a bad idea to have photo ID created for your child before you travel. Sites such as kidstravelcard.com will make photo IDs for children that include a parent's name and emergency contact numbers in case you should become separated from your child.

Most airlines do not require Identification for children under the age of 18. The drawback to this is more of a safety issue as an adult can without being questioned switch out a child under the age of 18 for another child of the same gender without a name change to the manifest. This would definitely cause problems in regards to child custody laws, safety etc.

Yes, it is best to take ID with them at all times. They may want proof of age to verify flight rates...as in young enough to fly free ( example, under 2 years), or young enough not to be charged adult fare.

I have had joint custody of my son since he was 13 months old. Every 3 months for the last 5 years I have been on a plane with him. Never once have I been asked for his identification, not even to verify that he was under 2 years old. I do know when flying out of the country, even Canada and Mexico, ALL children need a passport.

Yes, they do. On the other hand without physical proof of an adult allowing the child to fly on its own he/she won't be allowed to board the airplane in the first place.

Why don't police take a baby's fingerprints for future identification?

They do. Often on birth certificates or other such things, often without the parent's knowledge. If the parents are aware of hand prints, they are almost never informed that it's purpose is for government database identification collection. Ever heard of a field trip for elementary school children, or when an officer visits the school? When they do fingerprinting "for fun," those records are often taken for identification of that child for the rest of their life. I recommend as a parent to protect your child by not allowing this to happen.
