Cruise passengers will need passports as of January
Posted: Monday, March 26, 2007 - 06:15 PM

PONCE (AP) – Secretary of State Fernando Bonilla said Monday Puerto Rican cruise passengers will need their passports to come back to the island as of January 2008.

Bonilla explained right now Puerto Rican cruisers don’t need passports to come back to Puerto Rico.

"Puerto Ricans really enjoy traveling on cruise ships and it is not until January 2008 that they will need their passports for that purpose,” he said.

The State secretary also said the Dominican Republic and other islands in the Caribbean still accept birth certificates for those who travel from Puerto Rico.

According to the official, Puerto Ricans haven’t faced any trouble when they come back from the Dominican Republic by air after the establishment of the new passport requirement went into effect.

"I haven’t heard of specific problems regarding passports. The information I have is about the amount of people who visit our offices, as well as the U.S. Postal Service, to submit their passports applications has been increasing more each day,” he said.

Bonilla said the State Department’s offices are still receiving more people than before for that purpose.

He reiterated Puerto Ricans who travel to the mainland U.S. and the U.S. Virgin Islands don’t need a passport to come back to the island. They just need a photo I.D. that confirms the ticket belongs to the person who has it.
