Help! Question about travel?!

I know a birth certificate (for now) is all that is needed to travel to Bermuda, but is an out of country birth certificate ok?

FH and I are planning a little trip and I was considering Bermuda, and know it's okay to go there w/ just a birth certificate, however, FH was not born here (Argentina). Would we be better off getting passports (which we're in the process of) or can he go w/ his Argentina birth certificate and NY Drivers License and his work ID (NYPD).

TIA!!

You should call your airline. It might be complicated. I know that if you are a US Citizen that a birth certificate and state issued ID are ok.

I would be safe and get passports especially for your FH. I think you would be okay, but he might have a problem.

hi kitty
i called my friend who is a travel agent and she said it can be super complicated to go out of the country with a foreign birth certificate - you would be fine with your US birth certificate and photo ID but sebastian should have a passport - just for ease of use - otherwise he has to carry his origionals of his naturalization papers or his multiple entry visa in addition ot his birth certificate and photo ID
hope that helps

i would get passports just in case. i just got the paperwork for ours at the post office. she said it takes 20 minutes to enter it and it takes about 6 weeks to get it in the mail.

get passports. they are trying to change it all to passports, so it's better to be safe . the birth cert is for us citizens.

When we were at the airport for our honeymoon and a couple did not have passports to go to the Bahamas and they did not let them go. THis was only 1mth. ago. They bumped them to a later flight. Even though people may say that you do not need a passport I would get one. We did and it took 4 weeks about $90 each. It is totally worth it.
