Do my accompanied children need IDs?

I will be traveling with my three children, all under the age of 8 at time of travel. Do they need any form of ID? Thank you!

They may require age verification depending on the ticket type.

 

I believe TSA says "no" for security, but Southwest may say "yes" depending on the ticket type for Child Fare, or as an infant < 2 y.o.

For our <2 y.o. lap baby we do bring a copy of a birth certificate for proof of age.
