You don't need a passport now, but effective Jan.07 you will need a passport to travel to Canada, Mexico and anywhere in the Caribbean.
It's just a very wise idea to go ahead and make an appointment for your passport now so when you're ready to travel outside the US you'll already have it.
Passports are ID. They're good for at least 10 yrs but they take several weeks to several months to be issued to you. Start your preparations early.'

Depending on what islands you go to you may need a passport. You don't need the passport for the cruise if you stay on board. You won't need the passport for the U.S. Virgin Islands but any other foreign countries will require a passport.

you need a passport because you will be in what is considered international soil (any water that comes with 3 miles of a country's shore is considered part of that country) and since most cruise stop at ports of call while in the Caribbean you need a passport

Prior to 9-11 all you needed was a driver's license and a birth certificate. Now you need a passport. They can take several weeks to get, so if you're planning on going soon you'll need to get started.

Wow, what a collection of awful solutions. particularly from Rona who's probably a "retired immigration officer". particular, it is real that in case you have a single get right of entry to visa, arrive in Canada and get stamped in, you may bypass to the rustic and return to Canada as long because of the fact the stamp remains valid. the concept it quite is in keeping with in immigration regulation is "contiguous territory". meaning territory in direct touch with Canada. Mexico isn't in touch with Canada, as a result, contiguous territory would not practice. in case you got here to Canada, have been given a stamp and the visa became cancelled, then in case you bypass to Mexico, you will desire a clean visa to return lower back.

You need a birth certificate, and or a driver licenses with your picture. Or the best is a Passport.
Hope it helps!
