Your situation

  • You are traveling to another EU country
  • You're French
Edit

Your situation depends on your nationality:

French

If you are traveling to another country of the European Union included in the Schengen area, the police can check your identity.

You must submit a document valid.

The airline verifies the identity of each traveler, adult as minor.

You must therefore submit one of the following documents:

  • French national identity card
  • Passport

Warning  

A minor traveling without his or her parents must also possess a exit permit signed by one of his parents.

The family booklet or proof of application for an identity card or passport do not include a photo. They are therefore refused.
