No. Puerto Rico is U.S. territory and you do not need birth certificate or passport as long as you are coming from U.S. mainland. You don't even have to go through customs at the airport as long as you arrive on a domestic flight from a U.S. airport.
"Inaccurate press reports about travel between Puerto Rico and mainland United States
Contrary to a number of inaccurate press reports stemming from a July 16, 2012 article that misquoted a State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs official, there is no passport requirementfor U.S. citizens for direct travel between the mainland United States and U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands."

∙ 13y agoNo, children do not need a birth certificate to go to Puerto Rico since Puerto Rico is US territory, if they are planning on going on any boat trips to foreign islands such as the Dominican Republic or the British Virgin Islands, while on your stay, then you must have a passport.

∙ 14y agoYou will need a passport now because of a border security initiative set in place by the United states.
Update: There are no passport or visas necessary for United States citizens (All persons born in Puerto Rico are US citizens), which means that US citizens can travel freely in and out of the island without going through Immigration or customs. US citizens only need to have some form of official government issued picture identification to enter Puerto Rico such as a current driver's license or a photo-identification card issued to non-drivers by a state's motor vehicles department. For additional information, contact your local US embassy or call the Puerto Rico State Department at (787) 722-2121.
NOTE: Citizens of other countries have the same requirements as for entering the USA.

∙ 10y agoNo, not for traveling directly from Puerto Rico to the US. But if you go outside the US territories and want to come back using ANY entry points, you DO need a valid passport.
In any case, it is the best idea to apply for and have a valid passport and use it as your ID for all travels- even the domestic ones.

∙ 12y agoDepends on where you are traveling to. The general answer is NO. You need a passport to travel abroad. You need a state-issued picture ID to travel anywhere in the US (same as any other State in the Union)
