There is always much confusion about travel between Puerto Rico and the continental US. If you are legally in the US then no passport is needed to between Puerto Rico and other parts o fthe US.

As of June 1st, 2009 a passport is REQUIRED for U.S. citizens traveling to non-U.S. countries in the Caribbean (so places other than Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). A birth certificate is no longer sufficient.

All Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and so can travel from Puerto Rico to any other part of the US without a passport.

Passports have become almost a necessity to travel anywhere since 9-11. However, Puerto Ricans are American citizens at birth and have been since 1917. In place of a passport, ID that can be used for dometic US air travel includes the state or commonwealth issued driver's license or other state issued photo ID.

Keep in mind, It's good to have a passport because it will benefit you when attempting to reenter the US from other countries. They're inexpensive considering the benefits of identification AND registering valuables you already own to reduce the hassle of duties on imports, etc.

Puerto Rico is a part of the United States. The same requirements apply to entering Puerto Rico as to entering any other part of the US.

Moving within the US, including from Alaska or Pennsylvania or any other state to or from Puerto Rico is domestic travel and requires no passport for US citizens and non-citizens properly documented for being in the US.

Entering Puerto Rico from some place outside the US has the same requirements as if you were entering the US at New York, Miami, or any other port of entry.

Whether you need a passport to go to Puerto Rico depends on where you are going from.

Since Puerto Rico is part of the United States, if you need a passport to go from where you are now to New York City or Los Angeles, then you need a passport to go to Puerto Rico.

No. Puerto Rico is part of the United States so you don't need a passport if you are traveling from the United States to Puerto Rico. If you are traveling from some other country then you would need a passport to enter Puerto Rico.

No. Puerto Rico is a US Territory. If you are on a direct flight from the US mainland to Puerto Rico, or from Puerto Rico to any US state no passport is required. One only needs to have a state-issued picture ID for any air travel in the United States.

You do not need a passport to enter Puerto Rico if you are a US Citizen and are flying or sailing directly between Puerto Rico and another point in the United States.

No. Puerto Rico is part of the United States, so no passport is required for anyone traveling directly from any other US territory or state.
