IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
REMEMBER YOUR ID AND TRAVEL DOCUMENTS.
You've planned and paid for your trip and you're ready to go. Don't let missing
travel documents stop your plans short.
Guests of all ages require identification that matches the name and spelling on
their ticket. You are responsible for making sure that you, and any child
travelling with you, have the proper identification and travel documentation
required to enter or connect through each country on your itinerary. Please
consult with the nearest embassy or consulate of each country you plan to visit.
ID AT BOARDING
The WestJet agent at the gate will verify your ID prior to boarding by ensuring
that the name on your boarding pass matches your name on the ID and that you
resemble the photo on your ID.
DENIAL OF BOARDING
You may be denied boarding if you do not resemble the photo on your ID, or if
you present more than one piece of identification and there is a significant
discrepancy between these forms of identification.
We no longer are required to deny boarding if you do not appear to be the gender
or age listed on your ID. However, we must still verify your ID if you to be 18
or older.
Note: Information and guidance on this page is not meant to replace policies and
regulations from official government sources.
