Infants and minors do not require proof of identity when travelling with parents or guardians that carry valid IDs. Unaccompanied minors must carry one of the proof-of-identity documents listed above.
If a traveller is not able to present any of the listed documents, then a group 'A' gazetted officer of the central or state government can issue an identity certificate. The officer must submit the duly attested certificate on the official letterhead with a photograph of the passenger.
Documents for International Flights
If you are flying internationally, please carry a valid passport and visa, along with entry permits and necessary health certificates. Also, ensure that embarkation forms, if required, are completed and submitted to customs and immigration authorities before boarding the aircraft.
