Wasaya Airways will be implementing an ID policy May 1 for all passengers 18 years or older on its scheduled flights.
Passengers who appear to be 18 years of age or older will be asked to present identification before boarding Wasaya’s scheduled passenger services, according to a memo on the Wasaya website.
Passengers will be required to present one of the following three options: one piece of valid government-issued identification that includes a photograph and the passenger's name, date of birth and gender; two pieces of valid government-issued ID without photographs showing the passenger's name, date of birth and gender; or a Restricted Area Identity Card (a smart card issued to airport workers).
The name on the identification must match the name on the boarding pass.
The following forms of identification are acceptable: status card, passport, citizenship card, permanent-resident card, driver’s licence, provincial health card, provincial or territorial government identification cards, birth certificate, record of landing form/confirmation of permanent residence (IMM 5292), immigration documents issued to foreign nationals (work permit, study permit, visitor record, temporary resident permit, refugee approved status), Canadian military identification, federal police identification, federal, provincial or municipal government employee identification cards, old age security identification card, certificate of Indian status issued by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, and Canada Border Services Agency NEXUS card.
