You are going to take a plane to go on holiday, do you know that airlines are obliged to carry out identity checks on passengers boarding one of their planes?
When a passenger presents himself for boarding, an air transport company must check that the identity mentioned on the boarding pass matches that of the documents proving the passenger's identity (national identity card, passport, residence permit or valid driving license). This is specified in an order of May 14, 2018, on civil aviation security measures.
Minors under the age of 13 accompanied by an adult are exempt from the obligation of this verification.
Warning
Family booklet or temporary documents issued in case of an identity card or passport application are not allowed because they do not include a photo.
