Could I enter any European country WITHOUT a passport??

Not asking for me.

A friend of mine is genuinely worried that her ex partner would snatch her children and head for the Continent.

I am aware of the irony considering my sig but there's always a few rotten eggs that give everyone else a bad name.

Any info appreciated.

Most EU countries aer also signatories of the Shengen Treaty, thus a Driver's License or any other form of photographic ID (such as a National ID card) are sufficient for travel to a Shengen Member State.

Incidentally, the UK is not signed up, and as such you can not enter the UK without a passport.

Would that treaty cover children?
