What documents do I need to board LATAM?

Before boarding, it's important to make sure you have all the documents required by the airline and the authorities of the destination country. Below are the main documents required for domestic and international flights with LATAM

Documents for domestic flights

Airline ticket or boarding pass: For flights within Brazil, the plane ticket or boarding pass is the first document needed to board.

Valid identification document: This can be an ID card, citizen's card or other official document with a photo. For minors, a birth certificate or ID is required.

Documents for international flights

• Valid passport: For international flights, a passport is the essential document. Check that your passport is within the validity period required by the destination country.

• Visa (if required): Depending on the destination, you may need a visa to enter the country. Make sure you have the correct visa, if applicable.

What should I do if I forget a boarding document?

If for some reason you forget one of the documents required for boarding, LATAM offers some solutions, but they depend on the type of document and the situation:

On domestic flights: If you forget your ID or other identification document, check if it is possible to present an alternative document, such as a driver's license, or contact LATAM for guidance.
