Can an infant travel anywhere on a parent's passport? - Mother Carrying Her Baby while Looking at the Nature Scenery

I have heard that some decades ago, infants could travel with a parent without needing a passport of their own. Is that still true anywhere? I.e. is there any situation where an adult needs a passport to travel, but their child can accompany them without their own passport?



Best Answer

Modern "biometric" passports just don't have children section anymore, so it's not possible to add children there, and a separate passport (with separate visa) is required. Maybe it's just Russian passports, though.
