Your situation

  • You are traveling in France
  • You are of another nationality
Edit

Your situation depends on your nationality:

The airline verifies the identity of each traveler, adult as minor.

You will need to submit one of the following documents:

  • Passport
  • Residence permit

You can also use your French driver's license, if you are recognizable in the photo.

To travel in overseas, you must have an identity document valid.

If you have to transit through a foreigner country, you must have a valid passport. For example, if you go to Saint-Martin, you must have a passport.

Warning  

in case of a check in the country where you are going to travel (police check for example), you have to prove your identity. You will need a national identity card or a passport valid.
