I live in Austin, and I'm going to New York for Spring Break. I'm still a minor, and I don't know if I need a passport or not to go in-country. I have a school photo ID, but is that enough?

You do not need a passport to travel domestically.

No, passports are not required for travel within the US.
However, airlines do require valid photo identification from passengers (usually those over age 18), and many people will use a passport as this proof.
So, you don't need a passport. You should check with your airline to verify that age at which passengers are required to present photo ID.

If you mean Austin Texas, or any other state, to the state of New York, no passport is needed. Passports are for re-entry into the US, not travel between states.

Nope. No passport needed if you stay within the country. Just a school ID will do.

Texas and New York's international treaties don't respect each others passports. Get your Texas passport...but in addition you will need a Visa from the New York state department...for Texas passport holders they tend to take 9 mos to process. Good luck.

Texas to New York will not cross any international boundary, no passport needed. You may need to contact the airline for guidelines concerning minors. Best....Robert

like others said, you don't need a passport to travel domestically. but i wouldn't just bring a school ID though... a government issued ID like driver's license is better. a school ID is not considered enough for going through security at airports.

You do not need a passport unless you are leaving the United States.
