do you need a passport to get from n ireland to england or will driving licence suffice?

Answer 1

I've flown to Dulbin twice and all I had on me was my driving licence. Belfast is part of the UK so there is no way you would need a passport.

People who have told you that you do need a passport do not know what they are talking about.

Answer 2

You don't need any documentation as Northern Ireland and England are both part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It would be the same as travelling from Alberta to BC, New York to New Jersey or the North Island to the South Island.

However, if you want to fly, you may find that your airline will require photographic ID issued by your national/local government. Work Cards or Credit cards with photos won't do. In effect, this means you won't be able to get on a plane without a passport, National ID card or driver's licence. Note that some airlines will accept only EU driving Licences and not others.

Check on your airlines website for a list of what they will allow.

If you are going by boat, you probably will not need any photographic ID - I have never been asked and I have travelled by boat both from England to the Republic of Ireland and from Scotland to Northern Ireland quite a few times. Not in the last two years though.

Swimming requires no documentation but is best avoided as it is quite a way and the water is cold and there is no where to keep your duty-free.

Answer 3

Are you British or another nationality living in Britain?
As a rule you do not need a passport to gain entry into the Republic of Ireland if you are a British subject, but as many have stated it is best to take it with you.
Flights between the UK and Ireland are considered to be domestic flights. If yoiu are not British then you will need your passport and perhaps a visa.
The site below gives full details of the entry requirements.
Enjoy your trip it is a lovely country with great people.

Answer 4

Northern Ireland is part of the UK so I would say that once you are in the country, you are in the country. You don't need a passport to go between Wales and England nor Scotland and England so why would you need one from N Ireland? So I don't think you need one. It's always advisable though to have some sort of id on you when travelling though.

Answer 5

No Passport - Driving Licence is enough for the Plane.. - and you dont really need that... been over on the Ferry lots of times and have never been asked for my Passport... Remember folks Northern Ireland is still Great Britain... not Eire..

Answer 6

we are all part of the uk so no you dont need a passport but if you are flying you just need photo id if you have a driving licence that will do ,the ferries don't check anything but likes of easyjet you just need it to confirm its your name on the ticket.

Answer 7

(This question is vague,Are you carrying an American or English passport? you need a passport of your own country to travel any where now,Ireland is a separate part of the British Empire you do not need a passport to to travel from Ireland to The Uk if you have proper credentials (proper Passport)American etc.or British,

Answer 8

so some distance as i'm conscious you prefer passport for Ryanair. yet easyjet and FlyBe driving license is advantageous. British airlines prefer image identity basically! wish that helps. purely examine the internet website.

Answer 9

You do NOT need any form of identification. One of my former colleagues was from Belfast in Northern Ireland, and he frequently flew from Bristol Airport (the nearest airport to where he works and lives) to Belfast to visit his family and he NEVER had any identification with him or had an trouble trying to get on the flight.

Answer 10

They are both in the same country so you will not have to pass immigration. You may, however, need photo id to board the plane if flying. Essentially, take any government issued document displaying your photo and you should be able take any form of transport.
