How do I check in online for my Ryanair flight?

Your check-in process with Ryanair depends on whether you need to verify your identity. Knowing the correct steps can save you time and help you avoid check-in fees at the airport.

Online Verification

Some passengers must verify their identity with Ryanair before checking in online. This process can take up to 7 days, and until it is completed, online check-in won't be available. To avoid delays, it’s recommended to start the verification process early.

Your check-in method will differ depending on whether:

• You did not need to verify your identity.
• You completed the identity verification process.

Check-In Instructions for Non-Verified Travelers

If you did not need to verify your identity, you must use a temporary email address when checking in. This is because Ryanair restricts personal email addresses that were previously used to book directly with them, to prevent issues with third-party travel packages.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Ryanair Check-In page and stay logged out.
2. Select the "Reservation Number" tab.
3. Enter your details:
   • Reservation Number: Found on your flight voucher.
   • Temporary Email Address: Shown in the blue box on your flight voucher.
4. Click "Retrieve Booking" to access your reservation.
5. Log in to your Ryanair account.
6. Click "Start Check-In" and follow the on-screen instructions.

Tip: Completing your online check-in before arriving at the airport helps you avoid additional fees.

Check-In Instructions for Verified Travelers

If you completed the identity verification process, use your personal email address that was used during verification. A temporary email address is not needed in this case.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Ryanair Check-In page and stay logged out.
2. Select the "Reservation Number" tab.
3. Enter your details:
   • Reservation Number: Found on your flight voucher.
   • Email Address: The one used during verification.
4. Click "Retrieve Booking" to access your reservation.
5. Log in to your Ryanair account.
6. Click "Start Check-In" and follow the on-screen instructions.

Tip: Start your identity verification early to ensure a smooth check-in process.
