Infant passports...
in Clubhouse
I have looked up Easyjet's website but can't find an answer - do infants (grand daughter who is 2.5 months old) need to have their own passports to fly or can they travel with a birth certificate?

I'd suggest you ask Easyjet, and get what THEIR rules are. It may vary with different airlines.
Preferably in writing - try emailing them?
I've seen Airline LOADS of times where people have tipped up for an internal flight without a passport. You should see how annoyed they get when they're refused boarding.
You can technically fly to Dublin from here with a photo driving licence but they strip search you and stick a probe up your bum for drugs if you dare try it.
(probably)
Get her a passport GFB! It's less hassle!
My younger daughter's passport photo was rejected FOUR times as being "too light"
It was taken on the same day as her sisters in the same passport booth. Youngest is very dark olive skinned with dark brown hair! Her sister is very pale with white blonde hair and hers was deemed acceptable!
Drives you round the bloody bend it does....
Special ID requirements
Children under 16 years of age travelling on UK, Italian, Spanish, or French domestic flights can travel without photo identification provided that they are travelling with an accompanying adult.
Passport Office: For travel abroad
Before 5 October 1998 babies and children could be included on a parent or guardian's passport. In line with standard international practice and as a precaution against child abduction, children must now have their own passports to travel abroad.
Here she is!!....I have to tell her she's not allowed to smile for the photo!!
and remember the white background, gfb! My daughter had the same issue as LB's, as her photo was deemed too light. When she rang to say she is a pale-skinned blonde, they suggested she put on dark make-up and have it taken again!!
Grandson's photo was acceptable first time, and they are more lenient about smiles when it's a baby.
Still waiting for their verdict on OH's photo for his renewal. Hopefully we'll still be going on holiday next month!
my mums just had to take her glasses of for hers- she wears them all the time so how does that work- going to ask immigration guys at work if she's meant to walk through passport control without them.......
awwwww she's cute gingerfurball!!!!
Gawjusss
Seriously Dan?
FFS......
Half of the chavvy lads round here would have NO CHANCE...
Photographs for children aged six and over must meet the full standards set out in this guide.
Photographs of children five years and under must show a clear image that is a true likeness of the child. As young children can be difficult to photograph, children aged five and under do not need to have a neutral expression or to look directly at the camera, but they must face forward.
In addition to the exceptions above, babies under one year old do not need to have their eyes open (however it is preferable for eyes to remain open). All other standards must be met. If the baby’s head needs to be supported, it is important that your supporting hand cannot be seen.
If you have real difficulty in meeting these conditions, you should visit a photographic studio rather than a photo booth.

I was lucky in taking little C's pic at about 5 months. I put him on the bed on a light towel and clicked away, then cropped the photo to the right size. It was accepted first time.
She's gawjuss GFB
If you are going out of the country she'll have to have her own passport. If not, then a birth cert should do.
I'd recommend going somewhere like snappy snaps to get the photo done. They've done both of our kids. They put a white sheet in the pram or on a chair. Mind you, you wouldn't use the photos on the wall. They're grusome!
