Theoretically no. In practise yes, coz of the anti-terrorist concerns. You will also need a passport to hire a car etc.
Quote:
"There are no immigration controls between the United Kingdom (UK) and Jersey. This means you do not need to carry your passport or identity card for immigration purposes.

However, we advise that you carry a form of photographic ID as Customs and Immigration or police officers may ask to see photographic ID on arrival in Jersey.

Airlines and ferry companies may also ask to see ID. You must check with them which form of photographic ID they will accept. "

Condor Ferries don't require ID:

FlyBe will regard a flight to Jersey as falling under the rules for domestic travel, meaning that almost any form of photo ID is acceptable. See here for a list:

The easyJet website simply refers to photographic ID, with no list given:

However when I've phoned easyJet (on behalf of a friend who had no passport) their list was just as extensive as that of FlyBe.

Jet2 also accepts things like company ID cards (as long as they carry a photograph):

BA simply refers to photo ID:

Aurigny is very flexible, allowing the use of senior citizens' bus passes, for example:

Blue Islands also accepts bus passes and similar forms of photo ID:

CityJet, rather unhelpfully, refers only to 'valid photo ID':

Many thanks to both of you.
be safe take your passport, the airline will want to see it for ID purposes, unless you are going by ferry ?
>>>the airline will want to see it for ID purposes

No they won't! A driving licence, bus pass or similar will suffice for all airlines flying between the UK and Jersey. (See my post and links above).
