Co-parenting and your child's ID: What you need to know

Questioner

Good afternoon, when parents have joint custody of their 6 year old child, are they both allowed to have an ID of their child or is only 1 parent allowed to? Can a parent then possibly travel with a copy of their child's ID to, for example, Spain next summer? Thank you in advance for your answer.

There is only one ID. The parenting plan will state which parent has the ID card. That parent must then also give the ID card to the other parent in the event of a holiday, for example. For a holiday abroad, permission from the other parent is required. Do you have any questions? Please feel free to ask.
