Additional ID options for children under 18
If the child does not have photo ID, we can also accept the following (in addition to the child's birth certificate):
- Letter from a school principal – must be issued within the last 3 months and confirm the child’s full name and date of birth
- Current student ID card – must include the child’s full name, photo, and date of birth
We accept either original documents or certified copies. If you're unsure what documents you need to bring, feel free to get in touch – we’re happy to help.
