The TSA people love babies because they didn't want to see it. They just wanted to coo at LO in his stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-kids-were-you-asked-for-id#post-1244175 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:23:09 +0000 kiddosc 1244175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always bring E's birth certificate but they've never asked to see it. We've flown domestically with him for 3 round trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-kids-were-you-asked-for-id#post-1244168 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:21:38 +0000 regberadaisy 1244168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: nice!

One time I think I actually shoved it (copy of birth certificate) in their face and they hardly even looked at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-kids-were-you-asked-for-id#post-1244149 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:17:59 +0000 chopsuey 1244149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We've never been asked for our kids' id or birth certificate.<br /> When we travel internationally next month, we're taking both of their passports though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-kids-were-you-asked-for-id#post-1244133 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:14:31 +0000 HabesBabe 1244133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think they ask for kids' IDs-- I've never been asked (flew with an 8 month old) and my friends with school-aged children haven't been asked, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-kids-were-you-asked-for-id#post-1244130 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:14:21 +0000 travellingbee 1244130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, a copy is fine. And yes we were asked for it but honestly I'm pretty sure that it is only to verify that the child is under 2, not for safety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-kids-were-you-asked-for-id#post-1244124 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:13:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1244124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought a copy of DS' birth certificate when we flew with him at 8 months. They did not ask for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-kids-were-you-asked-for-id#post-1244120 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:12:07 +0000 regberadaisy 1244120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard more than once that a lot of times at check in ID was not asked for accompanying child. That is really disturbing to me!</p> <p>Were you asked for your child's ID at the airport?</p> <p>On the same line; can I just bring a copy of her birth certificate? I'd rather leave the original at home. </p>
