The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has listed ten documents which could be displayed as identity proof by air-passengers during security-checks at Airports across the country.

The following is the list of ten documents as decided by the BCAS:

•       Passport
•       Voter’s ID
•       Aadhaar Card or m-Aadhaar
•       PAN Card
•       Driving License
•       Service ID
•       Student ID card
•       Passbook account (with photo) in a public sector Bank
•       Pension card of pension document (with photo)
•       Disability ID card or handicapped medical certificate

BCAS’s Rajesh Chandra also revealed that the agency has also set in motion a process by which air-passengers would still be able to establish their identities even if they lose any of the above-said IDs.  “In case of loss of the listed documents for whatever reason, an identity certificate by a Gr. ‘A’ Central/State Govt. gazette officer (on his/her letterhead) with the passenger’s photo would be accepted as identity proof,” he said.

Minors and infants accompanied by elders need not display a separate ID or proof for domestic air-travel, he further pointed out.
