Passports aren't issued by cities, they are issued by countries. In order to have a passport, you need to be a citizen of the country you are applying to. So if you are a British citizen, you get a UK passport, if you are a Canadian citizen, you get a Canadian passport. It doesn't matter where you were born, it's what country you are a citizen. If you don't have citizenship then you cannot have a passport. Ex: A Canadian citizen, who is NOT an American citizen cannot have a US passport.
If you are a US citizen you should already have a US passport before you travel to Costa Rica. If you are a citizen of Costa Rica, you should obtain a Costa Rican passport, and you can then obtain a visa to visit the US, but not a US passport. US passports are only issued in the US. American embassies can issue visas.
No. The United States does not recognize the World Passport as being issued by a competent authority.
A passport is issued only to Citizens of the United States, Naturalized citizens and natural born. IF your child is a US citizen by birth or by naturalization they they are entitled to receive a US passport.
No, you must be a citizen of the United States to be eligible for a passport from the US
The Department of Homeland Security issued the final regulations on passport requirements on March 27, 2008. Effective June 1, 2009, if you are a US citizen and taking a cruise that departs from and returns to the same US port, you do not need a passport (but you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate or naturalization papers and a government-issued photo ID). Before June 1, 2009, you do not need a passport if you are a US citizen and are traveling to the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada by sea. (You can depart and return to different US ports -- passports are required for travel by air to anywhere outside the United States).
No; you also need a visa issued by the US government.
You need the passport of the country of which you are a citizen. You cannot have a US passport until you are a US citizen.
Costa Rica is not a US territory. If you try to enter the US with a Costa Rican passport, expect to be treated as a Costa Rican citizen and not a US citizen (that is, you'll need a visa, etc.). If you're a US citizen, get a US passport
Yes but you need a valid passport, and if you are not from either the US, Canada or European Union, you have to look for a visa issued by the Mexican government.
As of July 2008 - Not for a US citizen, just a birth certificate and a government issued photo ID, such as a driver's license. Other nationalities are required to have a passport. no. you'll need a government issued photo id. you will need your birth certificate also to get back into the us. however, a passport would make things easier.
