What type of documents?

[maureen B.]

Going on the AOS on July 24, 2005. What type of documents are needed? Do you need a passport or will a birth certificate and picture driver's license do? This is the Aruba itinerary. Thanks,

Maureen

I believe that a birth certificte will be OK, however, it has to be the type that has a raised seal.

Go ahead and get a passport.

Get a passport, you are going to need it eventually, especially with all these changes that are expected in the future.

For your particular cruise, a birth certificate (with raised or colored seal) and a government issued photo ID (driver's license or something similar) will suffice. However, you do have time to get a passport which is going to be required in the not too distant future and IMHO is more convenient and preferable as a form of official ID. If you divide the cost by the number of years a passport is valid, you will find the expense really isn't bad, and with one you will be able to journey almost anywhere in the world on a moment's notice. :)
