I think you may need one. You can get it by going to CT, I think you can get it immediately.

Your travel agent should be able to tell you....you might be able to use an official birth certificate. I think you can also get a passport quickly...there is a passport agency in NYC on Hudson Street...near Christopher in the village. I think you might need an appointment to go there. I'm sure you can find it online. Good luck.

You can go with your birth certificate and license.

Thanks my friend is going there on his honeymoon in two weeks, and he doesn't have a passport yet, and he was stressing.

From the US Dept. of State Website (www.state.gov):

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A valid U.S. passport, or a U.S. birth certificate (original or a certified copy) or Certificate of Naturalization accompanied by valid photo identification, must be presented. While a passport is not mandatory, it is recommended, since it is more readily recognized as positive proof of U.S. citizenship. No visa is required for stays of up to three months, but tourists may be asked to show onward/return tickets or proof of sufficient funds for their stay. The length of stay actually authorized may be based on the ability to show sufficient funds.
