My partner and our children would like to book a crossing from UK to Ireland in the next few weeks.

I understand ID is required. I have not got a driving licence but I have an expired passport (13 of may 2015). I have my birth certificate and my old passport. Is this sufficient for ID? My partner has his driving license and I have birth certificates for our twins. They are under 2.

No, an expired passport will not be acceptable.

Irish and British citizens do not strictly require a passport to travel between the two countries, but some form of (photo) identification is however required. The list of acceptable documents includes:

  • Valid passport
  • Photographic Driving License
  • International Student Card
  • Government issued photographic ID cards
  • Health insurance/social security photographic ID cards
  • Photographic bus/train pass
  • Place of work photographic ID
  • Birth certificates (for under 18’s with no photo ID)
