Do we need passports to go to aruba from boston?

Hi, at this time, a government i.d., like a driver's license and a certified copy of a state issued birth certificate will get you there. It cannot be a hospital birth certificate with the cute footprints! Effective Jan. 1, a passport will be required.

I am a passport agent, and my husband and I got our passports in 2004. Although not required, it is a heck of a lot easier as the passports can be scanned. If you have the birth certificate/driver's license, some agent has to hand type your info.

Not if you are traveling before December 31, 2006. As of January 2007, everyone needs a passport whether you fly from Boston or Cleveland.

please, please, please people. don't you read? it clearly states that passports are not needed until 12/31/06 for entry to Aruba. this question keeps being asked over and over and over. Boston is the USA. The USA will not need passports until then.

As of 2007 everyone one in every state of the USA is required to have one.

You will need them after Dec 31, 2006. You don't need them now but believe me it is much easier with a passport. The birth cert. and driver's license thing is a hassle.

duh!!

JUST GET A PASSPORT WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?

make sure you have your original birthcertificate with a raised seal.

Ditto to the first response. Please read the information on this bulletin board.
The passport and the weather questions are repeated over and over again!!!!!!!!
