"During my trip preparations, I learned that minors aren't required to have IDs when traveling with adults. Even though IDs weren't technically required, this wasn't a risk I was willing to take. I made sure each of the boys took their passports on this trip, which was a good call because the TSA agents asked to see their IDs each time we went through security."
"Now that we've been traveling together for a while and are taking trips to other states, I've started bringing specific documents for each kid: a copy of their birth certificate, notarized travel consent forms from each parent, and their passports. I don't always bring these documents if we're going on a road trip around Florida. However, I bring them whenever we travel by plane or go to a different state."
A full-time teacher who frequently travels with her godsons throughout Florida and beyond has developed a practice of carrying specific travel documents for each child. While minors are not technically required to have identification when traveling with adults, she brings passports, notarized parental consent forms, and copies of birth certificates on all flights and interstate trips. This precaution began after her first major flight with the children to Philadelphia and New York City in December, when TSA agents requested identification at security checkpoints. Though she doesn't always bring these documents for in-state road trips, she considers them essential for air travel and interstate journeys to avoid potential complications.
