We need a passport if we're traveling outside the US, just like americans do. To go to the United States, we don't need a passport.

No, Puertorricans are US citizens.

Puerto Ricans do not need a passport unless they fly to a foreign country. However since Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territory, Puerto Ricans can fly to the U.S. and back without one. Hope this helps.

AS a puertorrican, you need as passport to get out of the US, international!

Noboby in the world needs a passport, unless they choose to leave their native country for whatever purpose (like a vacation, to study, to work, etc.). You only need a passport to leave, and more importantly, re-enter, the country.

Puerto Ricans have a special status. They are called "U.S. nationals", so they are entitled to a U.S. passport.
U.S. nationals (that includes U.S. citizens and U.S. nationals, like Puerto Ricans) can travel directly between the mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico WITHOUT a passport.

The "L" Word

No, since the U.S. controls the island's immigration and customs, U.S. citizens do not need a passport. The same applies to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island
, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Islands (administered as the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge), Navassa Island Wake Island. For some islands such as Navassa Island, U.S. citizens will need a permit from the U.S. Department of the Interior to enter this territory since this territory (and some others) are closed to public for ecological reasons (they are nature reserves).

In theory, no, because the new rule requiring passports is supposed to cover travel to Canada, Mexico and countries outside the U.S. Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the United States. But, since passports are required of those Americans visiting the Caribbean, it might be wise for a Puerto Rican to have a passport to prove he/she isn't from Cuba or the Dominican Republic. Many Cubans and Dominicans find their way to the United States through Puerto Rico.

Only if we are traveling outside the US.

Because we are US citizens we do not need a passport to travel to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Virgin Islands (US), or to the US itself
