Driving licences no longer accepted as ID by Ryanair
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Anyone booked on a Ryanair flight departing from next Thursday will have to produce a passport or Government ID card before being allowed to fly.
From next month, passengers must be in possession of a valid passport or a Government-issued National Identity card, issued solely for the purpose of identification, with a driver’s licence no longer accepted as valid ID.
The new regulations come in on the same day Ryanair moves to 100 per cent web check-in which will allow passengers, including those travelling with checked baggage, to check in online to avoid queues and delays at check-in desks.
Ryanair’s web check-in service is open from 15 days to four hours before the scheduled departure time of each flight. Web check-in can be accessed via ryanair.com.
Having printed their boarding cards at home, passengers without check-in bags can continue to proceed through airport security, while those with check-in bags can present at one of Ryanair’s drop desks before proceeding through airport security to the boarding gate.
