Travel documents:

If you are an EU national, you do not need to show your national ID card or passport when you are travelling from one border-free Schengen EU country to another.

A residence permit (in any Schengen country, in fact) entitles you to free travel within the Schengen zone for the duration of your visa or permit.

Driving licences, post, bank or tax cards are not accepted as valid travel documents or proof of identity.

When travelling to or from a non-Schengen country you must show a valid ID or passport. Before travelling, check what documents you must have to travel outside your home country and to enter the non-Schengen country you plan to visit.

The biometric residence permit is not a travel document on its own and therefore will need to be shown alongside a passport at the border. However, the document is acceptable as a standalone document when demonstrating immigration status, identity, right to work and access to public benefits.
