Question

Im going on a cruise on Feb 21st 2008 to Cozumel, Mexico. Do I have to have a passport, Or just ID/birth cert.

Answer 1

Ask the cruise line because they have been trying to require a passport for about a year and a half now and it keeps getting pushed back. Last I heard it was going to start Jan 1st 2008 but it has been pushed back atleast twice already.

Answer 2

New law say passport as of 2008. Check US Passport website.

Answer 3

You do need a passport. The government is changing the law. As of Jan. 1 2008, if you are going to Mexico you do need a passport.

Answer 7

preston gave you the ONLY correct answer.  The LAW requiring passports for SEA travel does not go into effect until at least SUMMER 2008, and probably later...they will make another announcement then.  You can go to the website below and read the top half of the page carefully to see the CURRENT info.  However, SOME cruise lines want all passengers to have passports, so CALL and ask them .  See second website for passport application info.  It is currently taking 4 to 6 weeks to get a passport, or 2 to 3 weeks if you pay the fee for expediting  AND the express mail fees.

Answer 8

a passport for sure and take the rest with you. Its better to have more id needed then not enough,. After you get there, they can really ask you for anything that they want to, and its better to be prepared. Have a nice time, it is an awesome place to go...

Answer 9

Charlie gave you good advice. I will add this, if this is your first passport (if needed after you call cruise line) you will need to apply in person. You can go to your local post office to apply. Since you don't have much time, make sure you expedite.

Good Luck)

You will need all those id's. Passports can take up to 12 weeks to get, so plan ahead and get the paperworkl started. If you already have one...make sure the expiration date is still good.
