As I have said in the past the new rules were proposed and not
finalized. Of course, a passport remains your best means of
identification when traveling. I received the following information.
If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are archived on my
web site.

UPDATE: Passport Requirement Deadline Lifted
Summary
The U.S. State Department has lifted deadline restrictions for U.S.
passport travel in the Western Hemisphere. No new dates have been
announced.

The U.S. State Department has lifted the deadline restrictions for
U.S. passport travel in the Western Hemisphere. No new dates have been
announced.

Earlier this year, the U.S. State Department proposed new rules
requiring a valid passport in order to travel within the Western
Hemisphere. Phase one was to take effect December 31, 2005, regarding
travel to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
Upon further review, the State Department has lifted this deadline,
along with the 2006 and 2007 deadlines for Mexico and Canada air, sea
and land border crossings.

According to the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of
2004, the U.S. will require by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from
the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada to have a passport
or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United
States. Other than that, no new deadlines have been proposed. The
Administration is proposing a timeline for implementation which will
be published in the Federal Register in the near future.

Ya know, I happen to like Ray's news bulletins. Much more informative and
on topic than anything I've seen you post.
Feel free to ignore any future messages of mine

a good bet that the cost will go up, since they haven't raised the fees
for a few years. The process can only get more expensive and time
consuming.

Of course, if you have no travel plans outside the country for the next
couple of years, you can wait.


Assuming your not going to need it to travel interstate.

Not without a constitutional amendment.

Like the Patriot Act which supersedes half of our constitutional rights?

Wake up, the real world is flying by.

Humm, wonder when we could expect to know for sure if a Jan 06 cruise to the
Caribbean will require a passport or not. Really don't want to spend $200
on passports if we don't have to.

I didn't have any travel plans on March 31. On April 4th I bought my
tickets and on the 10th I flew to Australia. So "plans" can be a very
fleeting concept.
