do you need a passport to enter and depart Puerto Rico?

Answer 1

The following is a copy from the US Department of State:
(The link will take you there direct)
The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory. U.S. citizens returning directly from a U.S. territory are not considered to have left the United States and do not need to present a passport. U.S. territories include the following: Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Answer 2

You DO NOT!!!!! Need a passport to travel from PR to the continiental US if you are an American citizen!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember that Puerto Rico is part of the United States, so American citizens do not need passports to enter and exit the island. Another advantage American travelers have is duty-free shopping, so feel free to hunt for all the good values found in San Juan's many shops.

But for other non U.S. citizens, different regulations applies

Answer 3

If you're a U.S. citizen trying to enter Puerto Rico from the U.S. you shouldn't need one.. You will have to have some form of photo ID though.

Same goes for getting back to the U.S. from Puerto Rico.
