Since 2008 all US citizens MUST have a US passport to be allowed to enter the United States. If your aunt travelled to Jamaica with just her US naturalisation certificate, she would not be able to board her plane back to the US. She would have to come to the Embassy to apply for a passport in order to return home. Issuing a new passport takes at least a week, so this could extend her holiday much longer than she had planned. The good news is that she can apply for a US passport before she leaves the United States.
Actually, it depends. Right now, if youâre traveling to or from the Bahamas by sea, all you need is government-issued photo identification and proof of citizenship, such as your birth certificate. However, if youâre flying, you have to have a US passport to re-enter the US from the Bahamas.On June 1st, 2009, the rules are changing again.After that date, almost everybody who is traveling to the Bahamas will need a passport to re-enter the US, whether they are traveling by land or by sea.f you need to get a passport to go the Bahamas, you should apply for it as soon as possible. It can take 6 weeks or longer for you to receive your passport if you apply for regular processing, so make sure you allow enough time.
