| Oct 17, 2018 at 0:07 | comment | added | smci | @DanieleTesta: there may already be a small level of internal immigration checks in the UK (although overt passport checks are the most hardcore mechanism), and with the likely upcoming Brexit, it's extremely likely there will be more, and not just between NI-mainland. More likely by land and sea route than by air. | |

It can be different for non-citizens esp. non-EU

| Oct 16, 2018 at 20:32 | comment | added | smci | Are you asking if there are internal immigration checks on internal flights within the UK? Or just what type of photo ID (less than a passport) is acceptable for internal flights in the UK? | |

| Oct 16, 2018 at 16:39 | comment | added | Vality | @DanieleTesta Its not at all uncommon in the UK to not posses photo ID other than a passport, in which case the distinction becomes moot. Busses dont need ID. | |
| Oct 16, 2018 at 15:31 | comment | added | Daniele Testa | Why would you ever need a passport to fly within your own country? Why would it be different from, say, travel by buss? I have never heard of any country that requires a passport for a domestic flight. All you (might) need is some form of valid ID. | |

| Oct 15, 2018 at 19:31 | comment | added | exterrestris | Whenever I've flown within the UK I've always taken my passport, but that's because I don't have any other photo ID - if you have a modern photocard driving license, then that should be sufficient. You don't need ID to pass through security, just a ticket, but your ID will be checked at both check-in (if you go to a desk) and at the gate. | |

The only photo ID he had was for the village social club and that was accepted! I would suggest you take at least something that can prove who you are as it could save any delays. | |
