On January 23, 2007, new US government regulations took effect which will require all adults and children (even newborns) to have a valid passport for all international travel by air. This requirement will be extended to sea travel (except closed loop cruises), including ferry service, by the summer of 2009. Until then, U.S. citizens traveling by sea must have government-issued photo identification and a document showing their U.S. citizenship (for example, a birth certificate or certificate of nationalization), or other WHTI compliant document such as a passport card for entry or re-entry to the U.S. Sea travelers should also check with their cruise line and countries of destination for any foreign entry requirements. To apply for a new passport, you will need to appear in person at a post office or courthouse that accepts passport applications. Use the form below to find the passport acceptance office nearest you.

All U.S. citizens are required to present a valid U.S. passport in order to enter or re-enter the United States when travelling by air or sea.

If you are a US citizen, and the cruise ship departs and returns to the same US port, you will not need a passport to go on the cruise - as long as the cruise ship does not stop in any countries that require a passport for US citizens. If the ship is only cruising in Mexico, and returns to the same port from which it departed, you can board the ship with a certified copy of your birth certificate and a government issued photo id. It is much better, however, to have a passport. If, for example, there is an emergency and you have to leave the ship and fly home from Mexico, you will need a passport.
