Penalty when travelling without passport?
Yesterday I go to cruise from Helsinki to Talinn and back without knowing that I need to bring my passport. The trip from Helsinki to Talinn is good so I enjoy a day at Talinn and come back happily. However, when I come to the port of Talinn, the custom there ask me for my residence permit and the passport. Since I have forgotten my passport so I show them my residence permit and my Finnish ID. However, they say my Finnish ID is not valid to travel so they take a picture of both my Finnish ID and Residence Permit and send them to Finnish authorities and tell me to wait for the penalty from Finnish authorities

Re: Penalty when travelling without passport?
It seems like a fine based on your salary is the typical consequence according to this:

The weight of passport is less than the weight of damn cell phone.
Never understood people's defiance of carrying the passport. Serves them right when authorities issues a fine.

I have European ID card, could I use it as my identification when travelling? Had no issues before in other countries
