IMPORTANT PASSPORT REQUIREMENT UPDATE
AS OF JUNE 9, 2007
Joint Departments of State and Homeland Security Announcement: U.S. Citizens with Pending Passport Applications Allowed Temporary Travel Flexibility Within Western Hemisphere Through 9/30/07
The U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security announced 6/9/07 that U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda who have applied for but not yet received passports can nevertheless temporarily enter and depart from the United States by air with a government issued photo identification and Department of State official proof of application for a passport through September 30, 2007. The federal government is making this accommodation for air travel due to longer than expected processing times for passport applications in the face of record-breaking demand.
Adults who have applied for but not yet received a passport should present government-issued photo identification and an official proof of application from the U.S. Department of State. Children under the age of 16 traveling with their parents or legal guardian will be permitted to travel with the child's proof of application. Travelers who have not applied for a passport should not expect to be accommodated. U.S. citizens with pending passport applications can obtain proof of application at: http://travel.state.gov.
This accommodation does not affect entry requirements to other countries. Americans traveling to a country that requires passports must still present those documents. For more information visit: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2007/jun/86206.htm
A VALID PASSPORT IS REQUIRED BY ALL U.S. CITIZENS OF ALL AGES RETURNING BY AIR FROM ANY INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION
State issued birth certificates with government issued I.D. will NO LONGER be an acceptable form of proof of citizenship. For more information, please visit http://www.travel.state.gov. CasualCruise.com accepts no responsibility in passport rules regulations or policies
PASSPORT & ENTRY REQUIREMENTS - IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
U.S. citizens must present a valid U.S. Passport for all air travel outside the United States. For domestic travel - one of the following items will be required at airport check-in as proof of citizenship: valid passport, naturalization papers, certified copy or original birth certificate with photo identification (drivers license). The airline cannot board any passenger who fails to carry proper documents. Unfortunately, we will be unable to make any refund due to your failure to bring the proper documentation. Non-U.S. citizens must check with the appropriate Consulate or Tourist Board regarding entry requirements. A driver’s license alone is not acceptable as proof of citizenship.
A passport is required for all air and sea travel to or from all countries, including the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America. Birth Certificates will no longer be accepted for travel. You will not be allowed on the airplane or cruise ship without a valid passport!
The only passport exception is for cruise passengers entering into the U.S.
CHILDREN TRAVELING WITHOUT BOTH PARENTS
Many governments have initiated procedures requiring documentary evidenceof relationship and permission of the parent(s) for children traveling without both parents. These countries require parent(s) to have a notarized letter of consent from the absent parent(s) for the minor to enter the country.
MARRIED/DIVORCED WOMEN
Married/Divorced women traveling in any name other than what is on their documentation must first supply a marriage license/divorce decree.
To determine which documents are required to enter countries specific to your travel, please view the documentation requirements on the U.S. Department of State website at www.travel.state.gov
