Are passports required returning from cruises?

Travel Tips
No:
-If you are cruising this year

-AND-

-If you are leaving from and returning to the U.S. by sea.
Example, your ship leaves from Miami and returns to Miami (or any other port within the U.S.).

However, you will need photo I.D. (driver's license) and a birth certificate (one with a raised seal). Married women are encouraged to bring their marriage license to show proof of name change.

Keep in mind that it takes around 10 weeks to get a passport and you will have to surrender your original birth certificate when applying. You can expedite your passport if you need it sooner(but it is costly). If you apply for a passport and do not get it in time for your trip, you can get another birth certificate but again it may take a week or two. I would suggest doing a passport well in advance.

Also, as of next January, you WILL need a passport for international sea travel. Right now one is required for all international air and land travel. However, international sea travel does not require one until Jan. 2008. Source(s): Cruised many times, just booked another.
Discussed issue with travel agent.

Other Travel Tips
Yes, in international waters.
Yes, if you're entering the U.S. and if you've been to other countries.
Yes, if you're returning from a foreign country by air.
No for Caribbean cruises that start and end at a US port until Jan 2008.
In 2007 all USA citizens will be required to have a passport to leave and enter the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
