<p>Carriers are responsible for ensuring that passengers are properly documented for
travel to the UK or they may be liable to a carrier’s liability charge. These charges
never apply to the carriage of correctly documented passengers, regardless of their
nationality or the documentation they hold.</p><p> </p><p>Since 1 October 2021, EU,
other EEA and Swiss national citizens (with the exception of those who have protected
rights under the EU Withdrawal Agreement and equivalent agreements) have been required
to use a passport to enter the UK rather than a national identity card. We do not
currently impose carriers’ liability charges on carriers bringing people to the UK
incorrectly travelling on an identity card. This will change in the future as the
rollout of our future border and immigration system will increasingly support interactive
messaging with carriers to inform them what documentation is acceptable on an individual
passenger basis.</p>
