Travel to Ireland with no passport???

danebowers · 04-07-2011, 05:01 AM

Is there any way to travel to Ireland from UK without a passport?

My passport was in my maiden name but has expired. I can't get a new passport in my married name using the one day service as from the website it looks like they don't do that for name change services.

There's a family funeral likely to be next week and I just can't see how I can get there

As far as I know, since 9/11 the airlines won't let you check in without a passport. Having said this, you technically won't need one with certain airlines.

A friend of mine travels to and from Ireland all the time without a passport, though apparently some airlines can refuse you if you haven't got a passport.

To be safe, why don't you just get a new passport in your maiden name using the one day service. You can always send off to have it changed over later (not very moneysaving but will get you to the funeral).

I know Ryanair doest ask for your passport!!! Only if you come from overseas with a non European ID.

Hi, Yes there is no need of passport when you are coming from u.k, it is required when we come from out side of Europe.
