As of June 18, the Canadian government now requires airlines to screen passengers’ names against a “no-fly” list before issuing a boarding pass. The list indicates persons who may pose a threat to aviation security should they attempt to board a flight. The new requirement applies to anyone who appears to be 12 years of age or older and will require airlines to request government-issued identification as verification. For all flights departing within Canada, the requirement is for one piece of valid government-issued photo identification that indicates name, date of birth and gender – such as a driver’s license or a passport – or two pieces of valid government-issued non-photo ID, at least one of which shows name, date of birth and gender, such as a birth certificate. The verification of passenger identification is already a practice followed by most major airlines in Canada. For more information, please consult Transport Canada's Passenger Protect website. Remember that for most international flights, including those to the United States, a valid passport is now required of both adults and children.
