Passport for Puerto Rico?

[llkenziell 0]

What type of documentation is needed to enter Puerto Rico and back into the US?

Is just a license sufficient? Or is passport/birth certificate needed?

I'm not so sure about that. I know that they're getting alot more strickt (sp?) about that. I know that they are now required to enter Canada (even just to go to niagra falls), Panama, Mexico, and Bermuda. You may be able to find out some info at this site.

sure? they just changed the law Im pretty sure you need a passport to leave the continental US now. I never had one before and ive been out of the country many times but my dad said I had to get one a couple months ago. Dont quote me on that but you might wanna look it up.

edit: if you DONT have a passport and you need to leave the country withing the next month of two your fucked. I applied for mine almost 2 months ago and it still hasnt come in.

Puerto Rico is a territory of the USA, You don't need a passport. From the State dept Web site:

The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory. U.S. citizens returning directly from a U.S. territory are not considered to have left the United States and do not need to present a passport. U.S. territories include the following: Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

thanks for correcting me. i wasn't one hundred percent sure which is why i put the site up for him to look at. things are getting so complicated now. i just assume take a passport with me no matter where i'm going just so i know for sure that i can get back. knowing my luck they'd change the law while i was there and i wouldn't be allowed back in the country.
