JerseyJoe Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Do we really need to bring a passport AND a birth certificate as identification? As difficult as it is to get a passport (and the fact that you need to provide a birth certificate in order to get one), I would think that would be enough. I just don't like having to worry about birth certificates being lost or damaged during the trip, because it is such a hassle getting a replacement.

tiny260 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Passport only is my recommendation. No need for both. JennyB and JerseyJoe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 No, if you have a passport you do not need a birth certificate. I have never taken a birth certificate for identification. If you do NOT have a passport then you will need a certified, raised stamp copy of your BC. JerseyJoe, JennyB and tiny260 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJoe Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Oh, great, thanks. I was reading elsewhere that said we needed both. We all have valid passport books. Hoski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packercruising Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Just your passport and one other form of ID. Most people use their drivers license. JennyB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about for children? Do we need birth certificates for them if they don't have drivers licenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I posted that, I got to wondering when we have ever had to have another form of ID in addition to the passport, and could not think of one. So forget that. I haven't had any coffee yet. Have a terrific time! JerseyJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a passport for kids. Each of mine has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was replying to the comment about needing a passport AND another form of ID, which was later retracted. packercruising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
