Documents: before submission and packing Work through the practical checks before proceeding.

Adapt the checklist to the trip
Families should add each traveller’s documents, medicines and any consent or relationship evidence required by carriers or authorities. People with accessibility needs should confirm the actual route, accommodation, transport and treatment access directly. Longer stays need more attention to renewals, healthcare and address documentation.
A checked box is only useful if it reflects the current rule for your circumstances. Save the official checklist and date with the planning notes. When the itinerary or passport changes, revisit the affected tasks instead of assuming the earlier check still applies.
