Requirements for a passport depend on where and how you're planning to travel. If you plan to travel from the United States by air and you are a US citizen, you will need a passport to gain re-entry to this country (and to enter a different country).

If you're planning to travel by ship, for example on a cruise, or by by land (car, train, truck, bike) you can visit the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada with a certified copy of a birth certificate and a government-issued photo ID or a passport -- (but if your cruise departs from Vancouver or St. Martin and you must fly to get to the ship, you'll need a passport). The exact date passports will be required for travel by ship have not been established, but it should be in the fall 2008.

The above applies to US Citizens; alien residents have different rules depending on the status of their Permanent Residency and their country of citizenship.
