Remember to bring your passports, folk ;)

TL;DR in English: This article is about how passengers who only have national ID cards on their way to the UK are being denied boarding at Torp airport. The rules apply to both children and adults. Passports or national ID cards with travel rights are the only Norwegian travel and ID documents that are valid abroad. The ID cards are only valid in EU / EEA countries and Switzerland. A number of countries have introduced temporary border controls in Schengen. An overview of temporary border controls in EU and EEA countries can be found on the EU Commission’s website. The app “Travel Ready” from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides Norwegian citizens traveling with easy access to travel information, travel advice and not least travel registration.

    I’m so happy with the ID card - but so worried this would be me. The nice thing about only having passport is that you always have the right piece of ID.

      Yeah… I think a good rule of thumb would be to use the ID when driving or taking the train over the border, and the passport when taking planes.
