What ID do children under the age of 16 need?

 

Just a birth certificate or passport. Under 16 does not need a photo ID

What ID do children under the age of 16 need?

 

Depends on where you're going. Inside the US? Closed loop cruise from a US port? Outside the US?

It also depends on where they were born. US or elsewhere?

If they were born in the US and are traveling on a closed loop cruise they need only a birth certificate unless they are sailing on a line that requires passports of all passengers.

American citizens under 16 on a closed loop only need their BC. That's it.

Unless the cruise line requires a passport.

Unless the cruise line requires a passport.

 

Or they weren't born in the US.

 

Also, if they're not traveling with both parents, they need documentation showing that whoever they're traveling with, has the authority to take them on that cruise.

If cruising to Cuba, everyone needs a passport.

Or they weren't born in the US.

 

Also, if they're not traveling with both parents, they need documentation showing that whoever they're traveling with, has the authority to take them on that cruise.

 

 

If they are not traveling w their parents, they should also have a document authorizing the adult that they are traveling with to authorize medical treatment.

When our kids were little and traveled with their birth certificates we got them State IDs. They had them for years, even after they had their DLs

Some states won't let you have both a state ID and a DL (I know Vermont doesn't).

I believe California also doesn't allow it.
