A:
If your child is a US citizen, they do not need a green card to travel within the United States, including to Hawaii. As a US citizen, your child can travel within the United States using a government-issued ID, such as a passport or a driver's license. If your child does not have a passport or driver's license, they can use a certified copy of their birth certificate or another form of government-issued identification.
However, if your child is not a US citizen, they will need to have appropriate travel documents to travel from California to Hawaii. This may include a passport from their home country or a US visa, depending on their citizenship and the purpose of their travel.
It's always a good idea to check with the airline or transportation company before your child travels to make sure they have all the necessary documents for their trip. Additionally, you may want to consult with an immigration attorney if your child is not a US citizen to ensure they have the appropriate travel documents and to address any other immigration-related concerns.
