i always travel with it but two of the people we are travelling with this time only have expired passports should they get them renewed...
or can you just use something else for id or even the expired one?
can't believe i don't know this
you need them if you plan to go to the BVI's although maybe a birth certificate will work too- search through the message board as this has recently been addressed in full
Hello Ginger,
For traveling to the USVI from a US airport you all need ID to show at check in.
When leaving the USVI to return to the US mainland you will pass through an immigration/customs check point at the St. Thomas airport and will need proof of citizenship.
Accepted documents for Proof of Citizenship for Americans:
1. A passport issued under competent authority,
2. An Alien Registration Card (this applies to United States of America permanent residents only)
3. A certified copy of a birth certificate AND government issued photo identification like a driver's license
4. A Certificate of Naturalization, issued by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service.
The above is as per the Office of Customs & Border Protection at the airport on St. Thomas.
(For small children that do not have any form of photo identification a birth certificate is sufficient or one of the other three options listed above.)
(Citizens of any country other than the United States should follow U.S. travel regulations and requirements for entry into the United States. If you have any questions call 340-774-4279.)
