# Parent ID query [query-dsl-parent-id-query]
Returns child documents [joined](/reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/parent-join.md) to a specific parent document. You can use a [join](/reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/parent-join.md) field mapping to create parent-child relationships between documents in the same index.
## Example request [parent-id-query-ex-request]
### Index setup [parent-id-index-setup]
To use the `parent_id` query, your index must include a [join](/reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/parent-join.md) field mapping. To see how you can set up an index for the `parent_id` query, try the following example.
1. Create an index with a [join](/reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/parent-join.md) field mapping.
```console
PUT /my-index-000001
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"my-join-field": {
"type": "join",
"relations": {
"my-parent": "my-child"
}
}
}
}
}
```
2. Index a parent document with an ID of `1`.
```console
PUT /my-index-000001/_doc/1?refresh
{
"text": "This is a parent document.",
"my-join-field": "my-parent"
}
```
3. Index a child document of the parent document.
```console
PUT /my-index-000001/_doc/2?routing=1&refresh
{
"text": "This is a child document.",
"my-join-field": {
"name": "my-child",
"parent": "1"
}
}
```
### Example query [parent-id-query-ex-query]
The following search returns child documents for a parent document with an ID of `1`.
```console
GET /my-index-000001/_search
{
"query": {
"parent_id": {
"type": "my-child",
"id": "1"
}
}
}
```
## Top-level parameters for `parent_id` [parent-id-top-level-params]
`type`
: (Required, string) Name of the child relationship mapped for the [join](/reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/parent-join.md) field.
`id`
: (Required, string) ID of the parent document. The query will return child documents of this parent document.
`ignore_unmapped`
: (Optional, Boolean) Indicates whether to ignore an unmapped `type` and not return any documents instead of an error. Defaults to `false`.
If `false`, {{es}} returns an error if the `type` is unmapped.
You can use this parameter to query multiple indices that may not contain the `type`.
