El Gogo Posted March 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2018 simple question here.....our first cruise will be in June this year, Galveston to Mexico and back. Wife and I are from Michigan, and I just became a US citizen last December. Both of us now have Enhanced Driver’s Licenses. Question is: can we use that as our ID and not bring our birth certificates? My understanding is that our EDL’s work similarly to a US Passport Card. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted March 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Your birth certificate would not work to provide proof of US citizenship. If you just became a US citizen, you must have been born in another country. So you would have had to bring your naturalization papers. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted March 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just out of interest, since you went through the (relatively expensive) process of getting naturalized, why not get a passport at the same time? That's what I did. Eventually any passport you have from your birth country will expire, and is usually more difficult to renew remotely. Or are you not intending to travel "back home" (or anywhere other than cruises) very much? I will admit I travel internationally a lot for business and pleasure, so it was very automatic for me.

El Gogo Posted March 1, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I do plan to get a US passport soon, but as of right now we are trying to save money for other things . But definitely will get a US Passport because I do plan to travel back to my birth country and others . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookDragon Posted March 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2018 he became a U.S. citizen, not an American. According to Webster's Dictionary the OP is most definitely American based on definition 3 (see below). If you accept that the OP is now a U.S. Citizen, then the OP is AMERICAN. What is your motivation for suggesting otherwise? AMERICAN noun Amer·i·can \ ə-ˈmer-ə-kən , -ˈmər- , -ˈme-rə- \ Definition of American : an American Indian of North America or South America : a native or inhabitant of North America or South America : a native or inhabitant of the U.S. : a U.S. citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
