nope - for any US territory you don't need one

No, if you are coming from the US you do not need a passport. Go to the State Department's website. The new rules only apply to Canada, Mexico, and other Caribbean islands that aren't US territories.

The people who answered 'no' are correct, and the one that shows you a link to the US goverment site shows you exactly what you are looking for,

If you do decide to come here, you will have a great time. Lots to see and do.

The Puerto Rican tourist bureau says you don't need one if you're a US citizen.

If You are a US Citizen coming from any State or Puerto Rico or Leaving from Any state or Puerto Rico..

Seems like someone asks this same question at least once a day. So, for the umpteen time, NO, NO, NO! No passport is required to travel between the US mainland and PR. You did not need it last year, you do not need it now and you won't need it next year either.

PR is not "considered" a US territory, it IS a US territory. (By the same token, Puerto Ricans are not "considered" US Citizens, we ARE US citizens.)

So, just like if you were flying from NY to Florida... or any other State... all you need is a driver's license and you are good to go.

PS: Same goes for the US Virgin Island, American Samoa and Guam.

Have fun!

Puerto Rico is a common wealth and therefore a part of The US. You don't need a passport but you do need a picture ID. Your license is good enough. Hope you have fun!!

No you don't. It's nice to have but PR is a US territory so as long as you have proper US government issued ID you will be OK.

No, we (the yahoo answer regulars) have answered this question many times. it seems that the people answering are more confused than those who ask the question.

Enjoy your stay!

Hi, I just went to Puerto Rico from the US in February. You do not have to clear customs on either side (ie - you do not need a passport).
