Thread: Do I only need my birth certificate?

We are cruising for the first time to the Bahamas. We were told that we only need a certified copy of our birth certificates. We were told that as of Dec. 1, 2007, you would then need a passport. Is this true?

I believe its Jan 1st 2007 you will need it...

The date is Jan. 8, 2007.
Any air or sea travel from the US will then require a passport.
Travel by land will require a passport effective
Dec. 31, 2007.

oops! That is what I meant.....Jan.'07. Thanks for that. Just want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row. We leave this Friday morning. Now I am just praying for a safe flight and for the Hurricane not to interfere. It is our 15th wedding anniversary and this was a suprise trip from my Hubby! Thanks again!

Please come back and tell us all about
your cruise. Hope Ernesto doesn't give you any problems.

Make sure that you have a valid photo ID in addition to your birth certificate.

Ok. Thanks everyone for the help! I will let you all know how it goes! :0)
