If you are an EU national , you do not need to show your national ID card or passport when you are travelling from one EU country to another.
The passport-free Schengen area includes:
|
Austria
|
Hungary
|
Norway
|
Belgium
|
Iceland
|

You must still show a valid ID card or passport when travelling to or from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom. Though part of the EU, these countries do not belong to the passport-free Schengen area.
It is always best to take a passport or ID card with you when travelling around the passport-free Schengen area. Even though you do not need to show it at the border, there may be other occasions when you need to prove your identity - when stopped by a police officer or boarding a plane, for instance.
Please note that the only valid ID is the one delivered by national authorities. Driving licences, post, bank or tax cards are not accepted as valid travel documents or proof of identity.
Sample story
Lars is Swedish and is going on holidays to Spain. He took with him his bank ID card –accepted in Sweden as a proof of identity. However, Lars could get into trouble in case of a control of his identity by Spanish authorities since only the official ID cards or passports delivered in Sweden by the police are recognised as valid travel documents.
Check valid ID cards and passports by country
Do they a need a visa?
If you are an EU national but your family members are not, they can accompany or join you in another EU country. They must carry a valid passport at all times and, depending on the country where they are from, they may also be required to show an entry visa at the border.
Your non-EU spouse, (grand)parents or (grand)children do not need to get a visa from the country they are travelling to if:
- that country is in the Schengen area (see list below) and they have a residence permit or visa from another Schengen country,
or
- they are travelling with you or travelling to join you and have a residence card issued by an EU country (except the country you are a national of). The residence card should clearly state that the holder is a family member of an EU national.

Your registered partner and extended family - siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on – can ask the authorities in an EU country to officially recognise them as family members of an EU national. If they obtain recognition, they won't need a visa to enter that country – they will receive the same treatment as your spouse, parents and children.
EU countries do not have to recognise registered partners and extended family as your family members but they do at least have to consider the request.
To avoid problems, contact the consulate or embassy of the country to which you are travelling well in advance to find out which documents your non-EU family member will be asked to present at the border. This will help to avoid unpleasant situations such as non-EU family members being refused entry because they do not have the required documents.
Be aware that some countries may fail to apply EU law correctly and your non-EU family members may be denied some of their rights, as described here.
