For children under 12 to be able to travel they must:

The electronic identity document for Belgian children aged under 12 (the kids-ID):

- is subject to the same conditions as the current paper certificate
- in the same countries as the current paper certificate
* is used to prove the child's identity
* is not mandatory (issued on request by the municipalities)
The kids-ID document is also more reliable than a paper identity certificate
* It is produced at central level (no risk of blank documents being stolen)
* It is difficult to counterfeit (security components of the e-ID have been incorporated into the kids-ID)
- the photo is scanned and forms part of the document

The Kids-ID is also more than a travel document
* It features an emergency N° (078/150 350) parents can add to a list of numbers to reach in the event of an emergency
* the kids-ID's electronic chip means it will be used as a Social security card as well in the foreseeable future (1 card instead of 2)
* the electronic chip and authentification process mean the ID can be used for an endless number of purposes. For example:
- library membership card (ex: Bornem)
- Scope for being used as a school access and attendance card, sports club membership card...
