Required Identification Documents

All Chartright customers are required to provide identification when travelling, even when travelling domestically within Canada. Your identification must match your itinerary and for name, spelling, gender and birth date.

According to the Secure Air Travel Regulations from the Government of Canada, travelers will be required to present one valid photo identification by a Canadian government authority, or two pieces of valid identification issued by a Canadian government authority, containing full name and date of birth and cannot be expired. There is NO LONGER a requirement to show a gender indicator.

Fishing, hunting and boating licenses are NO LONGER accepted as identification for domestic flights

Any traveller who does NOT have a Canadian government authority issued identification can present one of the following pieces of photo identification issued by a government authority that shows the passenger’s surname, first name and any middle names and their date of birth and that is valid:

i. a passport issued by the country of which the passenger is a citizen or a national,
ii. a NEXUS card,
iii. a permanent resident card issued by the United States,
iv. an enhanced driver’s license issued in the United States,
v. any document referred to in subsection 50(1) or 52(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection

Restricted Area identification cards are still acceptable

Children travelling with only one adult should consult the Government of Canada Travel Guidelines for additional documentation that may be requested by Chartright or Airport security.
Chartright will work to ensure your information is kept private, but we will have to provide this information to the appropriate Government and Airport Authorities per regulations that are in place to ensure customer safety and security.
