ISR requires air passengers in Canada (12 years or above) to produce, before boarding, a government-issued ID which features photo, name, date of birth and gender of the passenger, or two government-issued IDs one of which contains the full name, date of birth and gender of the passenger. The name of the passenger shown on the boarding pass must be the same as that shown on the ID.
