Does anyone know if it is still ok for children under 16 to travel on their parents passport until oct 2004?

I think it depends on their nationality? My niece, who is only 9 years old, was required to get her own separate Indian passport both to travel to UK and USA. I suppose the regs will be different for EU nationals.

I do hope so as we go in two weeks and two of my three children are on my passport. Seriously I have checked with The Passport Office and Virgin and they have both said it is OK until October 04 for children to be on a British Passport and then for US they will need their own thereafter. Unless of course they change their minds ......

just been reading some similar threads on this subject on the forum but typically can't find them now
Children on a parents passport are ok upto October this year, from then on they have to have
their own passport. All passports have to be the machine readable ones, which I think the
majority are nowdays
So Karen you will be ok

now you can go and have a great time :)
I think if you you contact the passport office they will tell you to contact the embassy of the country concerned.
