Actually, it isn’t even possible in all cases. I literally have just got home from a Ryanair flight where they provided me with no option but a paper boarding pass for my daughter. It’s essentially a result of a crazy hack they’ve implemented to support families who have Ryanair prime. You can only name adults as Ryanair prime members, and when you book through a Ryanair prime account, you can only book for the named members. There’s a maximum of two per account, as it’s intended for couples. The kids, aged 2-16, you have to make a “linked booking”. You don’t get boarding passes through the app or email - the only option is to go to a customer service desk and have them print you a paper boarding pass. Also… digital boarding passes are an open standard - IATA BCBP. You can go make your own. https://www.iata.org/contentassets/1dccc9ed041b4f3bbdcf8ee8682e75c4/2021_03_02-bcbp-implementation-guide-version-7-.pdf https://www.iata.org/contentassets/1dccc9ed041b4f3bbdcf8ee86...
