Question about ID and Charleston

[reerun25]

In the FAQ's for the port in Charleston it says that a photo ID in the form of a government-issued document is required for all passengers. That only applies to 18 year old and older correct?

In general, all passengers need some form of ID. This can be a passport or a birth certificate. A DL alone is not normally sufficient to board the ship. For this under driving age, my experience is that the passport or birth certificate is normally enough (we got passports for our kids).

If a birth certificate is being used as proof of citizenship for a person taking a closed loop cruise it will also be necessary to present a government-issued photo ID for anyone age 16 and older.

We've sailed out of Charleston a few times now. My husband and I take our birth certificates and DLs, for our children (all below driving age) we just take their birth certificates. Never had any problems with this.

I like to be on the safe side, so when our kids were young, we just took them to the DMV and got an photo ID card. It's relatively cheap. Before they had passports, they sailed with that and their birth certificate.
