Do you need a passport to travel within Europe or does a photo driving license do?

It depends on your citizenship. If you are a citizen of a Schengen signatory country then an official photo ID is sufficient. If you are from outside Schengen area or if you don't have a personal ID you will need a passport - depending on your citizenship you might even need a visa.

You'll need a passport.
May be wont need visa to travel within Europe ( I dont need visa to any european country with my passport), but I dont know if for all the passports is like that.

I know that in the Czech Republic, the police do not recognize driving licenses as valid identification. So stay away from here.

I do know that going from Brussels Belgium into Holland you need to carry your passport with you.. If you get stopped, they will ONLY take a passport and Nothing else..If you do not have your passport on you, you will not be able to enter ...

You need a passport.

Onomatopoeia

You will get checked for your passport many many times going out of the States and when you come back. You MUST have a passport. To get your first passport, you do need your original birth certificate and a photo id to get one. Some states have passport offices in their main post office. Some states you have to go to the court-house. They also might have their own picture taking service for passport photos. If they dont have a photo service, ask where nearby you can get one.
You do need a 1 X 1 1/2 inch photo of you with a white background. You also have to look straight into the camera like you are taking your driver's license or state I.D. pic. Im an American living in Egypt right now the 2nd time. ;) good luck!

The original Peter G

You need a passport the get in/out of the UK. You don't need to show it it to travel around in Europe, BUT most countries require you to carry an identity card, which we don't have yet, and they would expect you to be able to show a passport as proof of identity.

Qu'est ce que tu pense?

You don't even need both of them. You can go in between European countries with no problem.

Voice of Reason

Assuming this is a UK question - no you don't need a Passport to travel in Europe (Schenghen Agreement countries), but you will need it to get back into the UK.
