What travel documents should I bring with me?

We remind you that it is your responsibility to comply with the requirements of the country of departure, destination and possible correspondence, in terms of immigration, health and customs formalities. You can consult the Sherpa website to access the travel conditions for your destination.

International flights

• Your passport

The necessary documents are: passport or national identity card. You will not be able to travel with an expired or damaged document. You can check with the consulate of the country you are going to, or on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the documents required for your trip.

• Your visa

Depending on your destination country and nationality, it may be mandatory to obtain a visa before your departure. Check this well in advance on the Sherpa  website as well as with the consulate or embassy of the country you are going to.

Domestic flights (France to France)

To travel in France on the domestic network, you will need an identity document such as your passport, national identity card or your French driving license with a visible photo. Family record books are not accepted.

Are digital identity documents accepted?

The digital ID card from the 'France Identité' application is accepted at check-in for flights within mainland France (between two cities) and for flights departing from mainland France to the Schengen Area. However, a physical identity document or a passport may still be required depending on the rules applicable to your travel itinerary.

Other forms of digital identification are not accepted.

Important: The digital 'France Identité' card is only valid for flights departing from mainland France. You will not be able to use it for your return journey to France and must therefore possess your physical ID card or passport.
