Why is identity verification required when claiming?

We need to make sure that the person claiming is an actual passenger on the booking in order to let you claiming on the customers' claim form.

If you are a passenger on the booking, you will need to confirm it by verifying your travel document so we will make sure that your actually a named passenger on the booking and the owner of the myRyanair account. 

If you are claiming on behalf of a family member or friend, you would need to do it though their own myRyanair account for security reasons.
