Airport security regulations stipulate specific forms of photo identification acceptable for entry by bonafide passengers. Common examples include Passport, Voter ID Card, Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Driving License, Pension Card with photo, etc. A Birth Certificate, while proof of birth, is not typically accepted as a primary document for identity verification at airport entry for an adult passenger as it usually does not contain a photograph and isn’t designed for identity purposes in travel contexts.
Airport security requires a valid photo identity document.
The list of acceptable identity documents is usually published by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). For minors, different rules might apply, and sometimes a birth certificate is needed in conjunction with other documents, but for adult passengers entering the airport, a birth certificate alone is not standard acceptable photo ID.
