Ryanair - Traveling to Belfast, Ireland without passport?

PolishBigSpender

For the record, I've used my provisional when flying Easyjet within the CTA and haven't had a problem.

However, for peace of mind - go to Newcastle Airport if you can and get written confirmation from someone there that provisional driving licences are acceptable. However, Easyjet have quite an easy policy on ID as far as I know - so there shouldn't be an issue with provisional driving licences. Do take both parts though, just in case.

I don't have the second part of my license. Although I was certain I could just use the license on it's own as I did a few years back on a flight to Exeter.

Is there a contact number for easyjet cos I can't find one on the website at all, and I need to sort this out!

Only for British or Irish citizens. Third country nationals require a valid passport / EU National ID card when moving between the UK and Ireland.

It shouldn't be a problem, I've never produced the counterpart either.

As for contact numbers - the only numbers will cost you a stupid amount, I'm afraid.

From the EasyJet website:

The airline requires all passengers to provide photographic ID at check-in on all flights including domestic services. Passengers who use the online check-in service will be required to provide photographic ID at the security gate and again at the boarding gate.
Please see Infants and Children section below for exceptions to ID requirements relating to children.
Please note: Passengers, other than British or Irish nationals, travelling between the UK and the Republic of Ireland, are required to produce a valid passport and any associated relevant travel documentation.

It doesn't specify which types of photographic ID are acceptable though - very strange! Maybe they just aren't fussy :rotfl:

I've just contacted easyjet who have said it's absolutely fine to use a provisional flying to Belfast as ID

Of course there is no point in shelling out for a passport if you don't have it - but if you already have one - its the most straightforward way of covering all the conditions as it is the universally accepted document.
