everyone is right.as far as the Government is concerned, no passport for US citizens to travel to PR or the US VI
CAUTION WARNING: CHECK YOUR AIRLINE!!! Some airlines require passports on the lame excuse that the plane might have to divert to a foreign country SO CHECK YOUR AIRLINE!!!!!!

Your best bet is to get one. I have family that lives in Puerto Rico so I travel there a lot. There is a law that was suppose to be in affect earlier this year stating that any puerto rican that wants to go to the U.S. needs a passport. The problem that keeps coming up is trying to get everyone a passport. Whats happening is that a lot of other nationalities are moving to P.R. for a couple of years than entering the U.S. saying that they are Puerto Ricans. Just to be on the safe side I would get one. You might not need one now but if the law passes while your there you might be stuck for a couple of weeks.

Since you are comming from Ohio which is a State, then you do not need a passport. But do bring anyother identifications that you have. My daughter lives here and goes to Maryland, New York and Florida and she does not need a passport. Puerto Rico is still United States Territory, soon to be a State of the Union.

"In an effort to enhance security and efficiency at U.S. borders, the U.S. government is now enforcing new passport requirements for all travelers entering or re-entering the United States from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Travel between the U.S. and U.S. territories (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) will not be affected."
Even though you are traveling to one of the territories, it is still a good idea to have one as an alternate form of ID.

No you do no longer prefer a passport using fact it somewhat is US territory yet to tell you the fact, I return and forth lots to PR even nonetheless you do no longer could conflict by using immigration on a similar time as strolling in the direction of the airplane terminal i replace into ask via immigration government to show them my passport.

No unless the law changes before that..A US Citizen traveling to another states or Territory of the US...Only needs proof of citenship ..
a Birth Certificate and a State ID...is enough..

I think not yet, but ask Homeland Security to be sure.
