Countries you can visit without passport
Without a Passport (U.S. Citizens Only)
-
U.S. Territories – You can travel with just a state-issued photo ID (like a driver’s license):
- Puerto Rico
- U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix)
- Guam
- Northern Mariana Islands
- American Samoa
-
Closed-Loop Cruises – If you depart from and return to the same U.S. port (for example, a Caribbean or Mexico cruise), you usually only need:
- A government-issued photo ID and
- A birth certificate (original or certified copy).
-
Land Travel to Neighbors (with special ID):
- Canada and Mexico – You can cross by land or sea with a Passport Card, an Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL), or certain Trusted Traveler Program cards (like NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST).
- You cannot fly into these countries without a passport book.
Important Limits
- For air travel outside the U.S. mainland, you almost always need a passport book.
- The exceptions are U.S. territories—flights there are considered “domestic” flights.
- Rules can change, so it’s always good to check with the airline or cruise line before you go.
