		<description>Hi Latasha, 

Not at all. However, since the USVI is considered a &quot;port of entry,&quot; you may be asked to show your birth certificate or naturalization certificate on the way back into the US. Have a great trip!</description>

		<description>Hi Lilo, 

Yes, you&#039;ll need a passport for the trip. Contact the nearest Mexican embassy or consulate for assistance. Thanks, and have a great day!</description>

		<description>Hi James, 

For Hawaii and Puerto Rico, all you&#039;ll need is your US driver&#039;s license or other state-issued ID. The US Virgin Islands are trickier, because they&#039;re part of the US but are considered a &quot;port of entry.&quot; That means that while you don&#039;t technically need a passport, they do sometimes ask you to prove your citizenship or immigration status on the way back in. You should go ahead and replace your green card. Once you apply, you&#039;ll get a temporary substitute document allowing you to travel without any hassle until the real one arrives. 

Good luck and enjoy your trips!</description>

		<description>Hi Jo, 

It depends. If you are traveling by air, no, you won&#039;t be allowed on the plane. If you&#039;re in Mexico now and have an expired passport, you should contact the nearest US embassy to renew it. If you&#039;re traveling by land, Customs can&#039;t actually permit you from entering the country if you are a US citizen, but they can hold you temporarily while they verify your citizenship. I would recommend getting the required travel documents before you leave the US! 

Best regards, 

Alison</description>

		<description>Hi Abe, 

I&#039;m not sure, but you can lose the ability to renew your passport if you&#039;re more than $2,500 behind.</description>

		<description>Hi Jake, 

You shouldn&#039;t need anything but your permanent resident card to go to Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands. Hope this helps!</description>

		<description>I am a mexican born male, migrated here at the age of nine. 2007 I got the matricula consular which expires in march of this year. Last year I got my residency and I was planning to travel to mexico by plane on the 15th of feb.. is the matricula consular enough or do I need a passport to travel in and out of mexico back to the us?.... I wish I would have asked this question before I bought the un-refundable airfare tickets but hopefully im ok lol</description>
