Does anyone know if a pssport is needed to travel to and from Puerto Rico?

you should take the passport, just in case. it wouldnt hurt bringing it!

yes u do need a passport

No.. not for Puerto Rico... its considered a U.S commonwealth.. sort of like travelin from Florida to Georgia.. so if you coming from the US you dont need one.. BUT its always good to have one

No, if you are coming from the US you do not need a passport. Go to the State Department's website. The new rules only apply to Canada, Mexico, and other Caribbean islands that aren't US territories.

Hi, I just went to Puerto Rico from the US in February. You do not have to clear customs on either side (ie - you do not need a passport).

The people who answered 'no' are correct, and the one that shows you a link to the US goverment site shows you exactly what you are looking for, If you do decide to come here, you will have a great time. Lots to see and do. For ideas check out www.frommers.com www.roughguide.com www.visit-the-coqui.com/home

It would be a good idea to have one with you, and take some additional identification just in case.

The Puerto Rican tourist bureau says you don't need one if you're a US citizen.

Seems like someone asks this same question at least once a day. So, for the umpteen time, NO, NO, NO! No passport is required to travel between the US mainland and PR. You did not need it last year, you do not need it now and you won't need it next year either. PR is not "considered" a US territory, it IS a US territory. (By the same token, Puerto Ricans are not "considered" US Citizens, we ARE US citizens.) So, just like if you were flying from NY to Florida... or any other State... all you need is a driver's license and you are good to go. PS: Same goes for the US Virgin Island, American Samoa and Guam. Have fun!
