I just renewed my license and have the paper copy can I still get on my cruise in the first week in march 2017 I also have my birth certificate

Don't know what state you are in, but in California they turn around new DLs in less than 2 weeks.

 

I believe the requirements are for government issued picture ID.

You need to give more information. What cruiseline? Rules vary. Some require certified birth certificate, passport, government picture ID. Depends on the itinerary and cruiseline.

Here's Carnival info:

It says you need

 

Also acceptable for cruise travel, U.S. citizens can show proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate issued by a government agency, accompanied by a government-issued photo I.D.

 

And photo ID is:

 

Photo Identification

A non-expired government-issued photo I.D. is required of all guests 16 years of age and older. The following are acceptable:

 

Driver's License

Driver's Permit

School/Student I.D. (acceptable for guests 16/17/18 years of age)

Does the paper license have a picture?

I would contact Carnival and speak with a supervisor to get clear direction as to whether or not this will be acceptable as a valid picture ID. If you have one, I would use a passport instead.

I would definitely call Carnival and talk to a manager. Our political climate is changing rather quickly and I know that at this point I wouldn't leave the country without a passport-just to make sure I get back it :eek:

Good luck and have a most wonderful cruise

If it has your picture on it then it is a picture ID and should work. I can't remember if it was CCL or NCL but someone had the same question and came back and reported that it wasn't an issue. But I think you will have your real license back by the time you sail in March.
