Can I use a photocopy of a birth certificate for flying?

Can I use a photocopy of my child's birth certificate for proof of age when using unaccompanied minors services or do I have to have the original certificate? She's flying American Airlines.

Why doesn't she just take her passport?

But generally photocopies of anything aren't generally acceptable

No a photocopy will not work at all and will not be accepted.

You can't use a copy of a birth certificate for anything a birth certificate is good for. Kind of the whole point of it all.

They will almost certainly want the original. The only way to know for sure is to call the airline.

No, Original copy is must.

You must use the original.

  • My brother put the wrong date of birth when booking a holiday? Me and My stupid brother who is 21 are going on holiday together I will be 17 when we go on holiday. He has put my date of birth as 2000 instead of 2002 does it matter? It's the same birthday just the wrong year. My friend who is an air hostess said it doesn't matter because there's no date of birth of boarding passes or anything like that. Flying from a uk airport
  • Can I use the airport lounge? I'm traveling to St Marteen, but I have a layover in Miami for 6 hours. I'm flying first class on American Airlines, so I assume I was able to go in the lounge. I looked it up to make sure, because I'm going next month, but it said international places, which I'm going to. The caribbean was not on the list of places though. So am I not able to use the lounge? Can someone tell me how this works.
  • Does enterprise allow you to use the kiosk with a pre paid debit card? The fort luaradale airport enterprise does accept pre paid debit but I have an account with them and was wondering if I still need to present the actual card or not
  • Can you use only the return portion of a round trip plane ticket? I have a trip booked in October and I need to change the day I leave from Sunday to Saturday. It is a basic fare so I can't make any changes. I think the least expensive work around is for me to buy another 1-way ticket leaving on Saturday, and using the return portion of my original ticket. Does anyone know if you can do this? I tried to call the airline but they are slammed with calls due to the incoming hurricane…
