Will my ID scan at check-in?

Accepted answer

The name, and date of birth matches. You should not be worried. It should scan without issues.

In the worst case, the agent will have to change document type manually.

I recently flew Birmingham UK to Amsterdam on KLM. I tried to use my Irish passport card at the self-service terminal to print my baggage tag. It told me to insert my passport or ID card though the picture only showed a passport being used. I tried a very large number of times in various orientations but none worked. I had to go to a manned desk where my card was happily accepted. I asked about the self-service terminal and was told that it did not work with cards.

I like the idea of travelling with just my card but this problem and the similar one at automated passport gates is a discouragement.
