Travel Documents – What You Need to Know
Before your trip, it’s important to make sure you have the correct travel documents. Each guest is responsible for bringing the proper identification required to board and travel.
If the required documents are not presented at check-in, boarding may be denied and travel arrangements cannot be completed.
We recommend confirming your documentation requirements in advance with your travel advisor or the appropriate government agency, as requirements can vary depending on your itinerary and citizenship.
Please note: Copies, photos, or digital versions of documents are not accepted.
Passports (Recommended)
We highly recommend traveling with a valid passport, as it is the easiest and most reliable form of identification.
-
Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months after your trip ends
-
The name on your passport should match your reservation exactly
Traveling with a passport helps ensure a smoother experience and can be essential if unexpected situations arise, such as needing to return home early from an international destination.
U.S. Citizens – Accepted Identification
You may travel with one of the following:
-
A valid U.S. Passport (preferred)
-
A valid U.S. Passport Card
-
An original or certified U.S. Birth Certificate (not hospital-issued) plus a government-issued photo ID (for guests 16 and older)
-
Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship
-
U.S. Consular Report of Birth Abroad
-
Enhanced Driver’s License
Guests under 16 may travel with proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate) without a photo ID.
Traveling with Children
-
Children 16+ should have a photo ID along with proof of citizenship
-
Children under 16 only need valid proof of citizenship
If a minor is traveling without one or both parents or legal guardians, it’s a good idea to bring a signed permission letter from the absent parent(s). This can help avoid delays during travel.
Permanent Residents & International Guests
-
U.S. Permanent Residents should bring their valid Green Card and photo ID
-
Non-U.S. citizens should travel with a valid passport and any required visas or travel authorizations
Because requirements can vary, we recommend checking with the appropriate consulate or visiting the official U.S. travel website for the most up-to-date information.
Documents That Are Not Accepted
To avoid any issues at boarding, please note the following are not accepted:
-
Hospital-issued birth certificates
-
Photocopies or pictures of documents
-
Social Security cards or voter registration cards
Matching Names on Documents
Your reservation name must match your travel documents exactly.
If your name has changed (for example, due to marriage or a legal name change), please bring supporting documentation such as a marriage certificate or court document.
Planning Ahead
We recommend preparing your travel documents well in advance of your trip to avoid last-minute issues.
Important Reminder
Having the correct documentation ensures a smooth and stress-free boarding experience. Guests who arrive without the required documents may not be able to travel as planned.
