Answer 1

Hi Sahar4Ever! Congratulations. :-)

Please note that some airlines do not allow newborns to fly. If you have a certain airline in mind that you would like to take, please start checking their age requirements immediately so that you will have options for other carriers in your area.

Also, a passport is unnecessary for you and your baby for flights starting and ending (ie. CA to NY) in the United States.

You only need a passport if you do not have a license or it was physically taken away for an motor vehicle infraction by the courts.

If you really want to get a passport to get thru security faster like what I do, you can obtain one in less that 2 weeks but you will have to make an appointment at a passport agency and say (which I do not recomend) you are going to travel out of the United States and show proof of travel as well.

Neither your baby or you, or anyone else needs a passport to travel by any means within the U.S.  Passports are for international travel only.  Check with your pediatrician about when your baby will be ready to travel.
