Ghozer Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looking to go for an over-night stay in July, and just wondered if I needed one when visiting Northern Ireland. I know that its different for Southern Ireland, but not sure about the north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that its different for Southern Ireland, but not sure about the north! I assume you mean a passport? If so you probably will - this is not a legal requirement but most carriers now ask for a passport as ID to carry you. This is definitely the case with planes but with ferries it can be a bit more flexible so try ringing them before you book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Why would you need a passport,if you go to Northern Ireland you are still in the UK. Legally you do not need a passport to enter Northern Ireland. (You shouldn't, in fact, need any identification at all, but I've never made the trip so I don't know for sure.) In practice, if you intend to fly there, some airlines will not accept anything other than a valid passport as proof of identity - even for internal flights.

GrannyGranny Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just check the requirements when you book the flight/ferry. When I worked over in Belfast a few years ago I flew weekly from Leeds Bradford and needed a photo ID eg. passport, drivers licence etc.. Always took my drivers licence because its cheaper to replace just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 As a regular visiter to both north and south Ireland and not having a Passport, we always go by Ferry, no problem. As for flying, if my missus goes on her own she takes it with her, don't know if it is a required document though. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
