There are some small differences in the instant versus the regular mailed TeenTravelCard:  the heading on the Instant card says “TeenTravelCard.com/Instant“. The regular mailed TeenTravelCard comes with 4 removable adhesive labels for trip specific or temporary information, but that information can be added to the laminated Instant card with an appropriate pen and then easily erased.

Teen Safety ID Cards help authorities easily and quickly establish positive identification of your teenager.  These high quality plastic cards are designed with multiple purposes in mind.  The first is to satisfy the identification card requirements for travel by airlines, cruise ships, trains, etc., whether the teen is with family and friends or as an unaccompanied minor.  This has been accomplished, and our cards are accepted by all the major airlines for domestic travel.  The next purpose is to provide a safe, simple identification system for a teen in the event they get separated from their family.  Teens don’t like to be thought of or treated like children, but they still need to be protected.    The TeenTravelCard contains all of the teen’s specific personal information, name and contact telephone numbers for parents or guardians, and an additional emergency contact with relationship and phone number.  It also has a large field on the back of the card — with 250 characters available — for whatever information might be important for someone to know if they found the teen alone or in distress.  This is the place for things like allergies, medical conditions, medications, extra contact numbers, etc.  In addition, the cards also come with removable adhesive labels for “trip specific” information.  When a trip or event is over, just peel off the label and the card is ready for the next one.  Each card comes with a soft cotton “break-away” lanyard in a wide choice of vibrant colors.

Remember to order duplicate TeenTravelCards for yourself and for family members or teachers to have when your teenager is in their care. Extra lanyards are a good idea too, in case the original is lost.
