I think I read that anyone who doesn't have an EU passport (mine is US) has to go to the check-in desk, even if you already hava BP for a document check. Can I still do that if I check-in on the RyanAir app, or will I need a printed BP, so the agent can write "Docs OK", or similar on it. I'm not sure if I'll have access to a printer.
The website previously specified a paper boarding pass was required for non-EU passports. They don't say this anymore, but still refer to having "travel documents stamped".
To be on the safe side, I would strongly recommend getting a printed copy. Most hotel receptions in Europe will happily print a Ryanair boarding pass if you email them the PDF (they are well used to low cost airline passengers). Otherwise paying for 15 minutes at an internet cafe is much cheaper than paying Ryanair's "boarding pass reissue fee" of €15 or £15.
