Can I use my school ID card for an Indian domestic flight?
The only ID card I have is for my 7th year class. Can I use it as ID for domestic flight from LKO-DEL?
I am traveling with my father; he have all documents, so can I get verified by him ?
Best Answer
In India you usually need to show your ID at two places - entrance to the airport and at check-in.
As per this news item, Bureau of Civil Aviation expects passengers to have any one of the following IDs to enter the airport:
- Passport
- Voter ID
- Aadhaar or m-Aadhaar
- Pan Card
- Driving licence
- Service ID
- Student ID card
- Passbook of account in a nationalised bank with photo
- Pension card or pension documents with photo
- Disability ID card or handicapped medical certificate
So your student ID should be sufficient. But the same report also states
BCAS also clarified that infants or minors accompanied by a guardian with a valid ID wouldn't need a separate proof for domestic air travel. Unaccompanied minors would.
As you are travelling with your father (a bona fide passenger) you won't need to produce any proof.
For check-in the student ID should be sufficient (if the staff at all ask for it). Links for Air India, Indigo, goair
