We fly fairly often with our two kids. While we do have passports for them, we've never been asked for them. Children are not required to have ID when flying within the US. Interestingly, the security folks always ask our older son for his name and then ask him to tell them our baby's name. Our son goes by a nickname that does not match his legal name (which is printed on his ticket). They hold us there until we explain to him that he needs to say his "real name" and only when he does so do they let us go on. It's pretty clear they're doing whatever they can to make sure the kids you're traveling with are the ones you bought a ticket for.
Typically an 8-year-old will only need a birth certificate to be able to fly within the borders of the United States. If the child is to fly alone, additional information or identification may be required, such as a social security number.
Effective June 21, 2008, adult passengers (18 and over) are required to show a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID that contains the following: name, date of birth, gender, expiration date and a tamper-resistant feature in order to be allowed to go through the checkpoint and onto their flight.
Acceptable DocumentsAccording to the TSA Children do not need to show ID. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/screening_experience.shtm The items you'll need to present to a Transportation Security Officer at the checkpoint are: * Boarding pass * Identification (click here to see a list of acceptable IDs) We encourage each adult traveler to keep his/her airline boarding pass and government-issued photo ID available until exiting the security checkpoint (children are not required to show identification). If you do not have identification (if it is lost, stolen, etc.), you will be required to provide the document checking officer with some information to help verify your identity. This will slow down your screening process and will result in additional screening.
No, just and adult guardian (or parent obviously) to fly with them or to sign a release to let the child fly alone. Airlines will not allow infants to fly alone (minimum ages likely vary) and there may be Federal Laws regarding the issue.
I have never needed any identification, but always brought birth cert., and S.S. card in case. The only time our child needed it was when he flew alone.
Any state issued ID or military dependant ID.
You would need to fly with him or if alone fly with a minor, they would then have a person walk them around and have them being watched. So they don'y get lost and miss the flights.
Yes
Absolutely! every one needs ID to fly domestically, and everyone must have a passport when they fly internationally.
Nope. You don't have to legally have ID until you're eighteen.
if in the u.s. no but will need a guardian to go thrugh security and etc. but a forieng country u need a passport
Yes.
We did not need photo id for my daughter when we flew with her in December. She was 5 months old at the time.
No

Get a new ID.
If you are in the US, a government issue ID to show to security to verify you are the ticket holder.
Passport and voter id these two id 's would you need to fly Globester.com - cheap airline tickets
And eight-year-old traveling with their grandparents does not need ID to board a plane. The child will need a notarized paper giving the grandparent permission to have the child with them.
You actually need ID to get on a plane, so yes you would need one.
