   This is when you do and don’t need a passport; eventually you’ll need one, so you may want to start the process, takes 6-8 weeks on average but can be expedited.

   If you’re flying… yes, no exceptions.

   If you’re driving… no (but you will in 2008)

   If you’re going by cruise/boat… no (but you will in 2008)

   Yup.. It’s new, but anytime you leave this country, even to Mexico, you now need a valid passport… An identification card or birth certificate wont work.

   Like the first person said - you do not need a passport if traveling by sea or land. You can call the toll-free passport office near you. It is on thier recording.

   I live in TJ and go to CA a few times a week….

   Passports are better- it gets you through faster, with fewer questions or hassles.

   They do accept a license and a birth certificate together (just did it this week- passport was not on me). More questions, more hassle, but you can get in.

   You will need a p’prt by 2008 for land crossings.

   You do not need one. But you do need your I.D and social security card. Have Fun ?
