Evening All,

Not sure if this is in the correct place, if not please move it.

I need to apply for an EHIC card for both my children as we are on holiday abroad next month. On the EHIC website it mentions about children being on their parents cards. Does anyone know if I can just add them onto my card?

Thanks in advance :)

    Hi, when we went abroad a few years ago I got myself and my two young sons separate cards.

    Hi Mel,

    Thanks for replying so quickly. I didn't think id be able to add them with my card still being valid but I've just been through the process and it says I can. Fingers crossed!!! xx

    You register them under your national insurance number and you will all get new cards, i did when i added my kids.

    Don't forget to take out travel insurance as well.
