AIRLINES AND PHOTO ID
The airlines in Canada are asking for photo identification from passengers. Some Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are out of province and do not have such identification. At times, they are seeking assistance from Motor Registration Division to obtain photo identification. Here’s what to do:

Always check with the airlines to confirm they will accept the following.

When out of province, have a set of passport photos taken at any commercial location. Take the photos to a justice of the peace, notary public, commissioner of oaths or any other duly authorized person for certification. This will involve presentation of appropriate documents such as birth certificate, social insurance card, MCP identification, etc.
