I've also read of some who didn't have anyone at home to send a copy and were denied boarding. While true or not I thought I read recently that one could use a "REAL ID" license without a birth certificate and also a Global Entry since you have been ultra checked out. I just Googled and per CBP.GOV U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises will be able to enter or depart the country with proof of citizenship, such as an Enhanced Driver's License (EDL), a government-issued birth certificate (issued by the Vital Records Department in the state where he or she was born) or passport, ... But said a EDL only allowed on Ocean or Land crossings. As you quote from CBP, on closed loop cruises that don't require a passport, you may be able to use an Enhanced ID (only offered in about 5 states) instead of a birth certificate (not sure on Celebrity's specific policy on this). I've never heard of being able to use a Real ID (which is different than an Enhanced ID) with Global Entry for a closed loop cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are confusing EDL with Real ID. As far as Global Entry without a birth certificate it might work theoretically, you can use to cross the Canadian border by car but I would not test that out on a cruise.

edgee Posted January 22 #28 Share Posted January 22 Should be mentioned that if you cruise without a passport and need to leave the cruise in an emergency to fly home, you cannot do so without a passport. Big mistake to cruise without one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted January 22 #30 Share Posted January 22 As someone who checks-in passengers for Alaska bound cruises, I can tell you that a Global Entry Card is not acceptable as proof of citizenship. Any passengers showing up with just a Global Entry Card, plus a regular Driver's License (even a Real ID DL) would be denied boarding. If this passenger was a US born citizen, we would accept a copy of their US gov't issued birth certificate electronically sent from home. Just general info: Enhanced Driver's licenses are only issued from these 5 states: MI; MN; NY; VT & WA. There are also Canadian Enhanced Driver's Licenses issued from some of the Provinces. Enhanced Driver Licenses are acceptable ID to board a cruise ship sailing on an Alaskan closed loop cruise. (I can not speak to what some of the Island countries require in the Caribbean) Other acceptable ID would be a NEXUS card (issued by the US/CA gov'ts), or a SENTRI card (US/MEX). We really don't see too many of these cards. To get one on these cards you need to have a face to face interview. Fun fact, spouse and I have our NEXUS interview scheduled for later this Spring.. Easiest ID to use is a passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda a mute point on Global Entry as you have to have a Passport in order to obtain Global Entry. If you have a passport you would use it.

If you have a passport you would use it. You would think. You were the one who posted about people saying they were using Global Entry without a birth certificate. I don’t know what you were thinking. The expiration dates don’t coincide so I could see someone might have the card and not a valid passport.n Edited January 23 by Charles4515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
