What form of ID needed for a baby?
We might travel by air (USA, domestic) in July with our baby who will be
about 7 months old then. Do they ask for some form of picture ID for infants? The only ID we have for her is her birth certificate, nothing with her picture on it - although the birth certificate has our (parents') names and we, of course, have proper ID - can anyone advise? Thanks, Boris the Spider |

No id will be needed.. If the fare required her to be under 2, and she was a little bit older, I would suggest a birth certificate. Generally, no ID is required for children 16 and younger. However, in some cases you might need ID to show age. This wouldn't be a problem for most 9 year olds, for instance, as you don't generally try to pass them off for free "under 2" travel, and they don't look old enough for the age 16 requirement. There was an episode of Airline where a woman tried to tell WN the child was under 2. As I remember it, the airline even called the hospital and they had no record of the child being born on the day the mother had claimed. This shouldn't be a problem if you child looks like a regular 7 month old. |

Generally, no picture ID is required for infants - but always check with the airline before you travel. Carrying a copy of her birth certificate is a good idea. Remember also that depending on the airline you MAY need to make a reservation for your baby even if she's travelling for free. If you want a seat for her, for example to use her car seat, then you do of course need to book a child ticket. |

Your airline's web site probably has this information, but a birth certificate for the child (or even a passport) should be enough. Definitely confirm with your airline though. |

A quick check of the major's reveals that CO, AA, DL all state that passengers under 18 travelling with their parents don't need any ID. Couldn't find the info easily on UA. It seems to be federal, as opposed to airline, regulations so I guess it's the same for all carriers - but do check your airline. |

Seems HIPAA would prevent any release of that info anyway
