I've taken a look at a few different U.S. government web sites and I'm still not clear on when my children need a passport. Each site seemed to link me to yet another site, which wasn't very user-friendly. I'm searching the govt sites trying to find out when my 4-year old and 5-month old need to have passports, birth certificates or passport cards to travel to other countries and back.

One vacation option with kids: a Caribbean cruise. If we want to be able to exit the ship at each port, which piece of identification is required?

Same questions for these other trip ideas:

flight to Cancun
flight to Dominican Republic

Sorry if this info is on those web sites, I just wasn't clear on what was sufficient (and if they don't need passports, then I don't want to spend the big bucks on getting them passports).

Hi! Every child, from infant to teenager, needs a PP. Here's the link to a page on the Department of State's website that details the requirments for minors applying for passports.

Not true. Every child, regardless of age, needs a US passport if they are US citizens.
