What Documents are Needed for an Infant to

Travel in a Flight?
Have you ever traveled on a flight with an
infant? If so, are you aware of the documents
that you need to carry? When you enter an
airport with a baby, it is mandatory to show any
form of identification. However, showing a birth
certificate is enough for a baby or a child
traveling domestically while an adult requires a
government-issued photo ID. But when you are
traveling outside the country with an infant,
each individual, regardless of age, requires a
valid passport. Thus, before you take your child
to the airport, make sure you carry their proper
ID that is needed to board the plane or else your
trip can be cut short.

The documents that are required while traveling
with a baby-The Babys Birth Certificate

The most important form of ID that is accepted
everywhere within the country is a birth
certificate. Make sure to carry a birth
certificate of your baby while traveling with
them within the country.  This certificate is
important to prove the babys age and parentage,
so you need to check whether the certificate
contains the names of both parents including the
mothers maiden name.

Parents Letter of Consent

• When a baby is traveling without the babys other
  parent or legal guardian, the single parent who
  is traveling with the baby needs a letter of
  consent written by the other parent.
• The letter should be stating that the
  accompanying parent is allowed to travel with the
  baby.
• You can also have a discussion with the airline
  to see if this step is necessary while traveling
  domestically or internationally.
• Similarly, it is important to carry the death
  certificate of a deceased parent while you are
  traveling with his or her baby.

Passport Requirements for Babies

• One should keep in mind that babies, just like
  adults needs to carry a valid passport and the
  required visas while flying out of the country.
• No person, regardless of age, will be allowed to
  enter the airport or board an international
  flight without a passport.
• You can have a word with the U.S. State
  Department while obtaining a passport for an
  unborn or newborn infant before traveling.

Traveling with Babies When an adult is traveling
with a baby, the parent will be required to carry
the same type of ID when he or she is flying
solo. Moreover, the ID should properly connect
the parent to the baby. For example, the parents
name should be mentioned on the babys birth
certificate. Also, when you are
traveling with an adopted baby, it is important
to carry the childs birth certificate and
adoption papers, as they are required to verify
the parent as the legal guardian of the baby.

Thus, make sure you have the required documents
whenever you are traveling with a baby. All the
airlines more or less have the same policies.
Similarly, if you are traveling on Air Canada,
Spirit Airlines or any other airlines, you need
to carry the required documents. For
more information, you can contact at Airlines
customer service such as Air Canada customer
service, Spirit Airlines customer service before
travelling with an infant.
