                     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 Baby’s Birth Certificate
•
The mo st 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 baby’s age and parentage, so you need to check 
whether the certificate contains the names of both parents including the mother’s maiden 
name.
    Parent’s Letter of Consent
When a baby is traveling without the baby’s 
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 
parent’s name should be mentioned on the baby’s birth certificate. 
Also, when you are traveling with an adopted baby, it is important to 
carry the child’s 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.
