Traveling to Hawaii? Here's What You Need to Know About ID Requirements

Planning a Hawaiian vacation? You’re probably asking, do I need a passport to fly to Hawaii. If you’re a U.S. citizen traveling from within the United States, you don’t need a passport. Hawaii is a U.S. state, so travel is considered domestic. However, you do need to carry a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another form of TSA-approved identification. For children under *** flying with adults, no ID is required, but a birth certificate is often recommended. If you're cruising or flying from an international location, passport rules may apply. Always double-check airline and cruise line policies in advance. Being prepared with the correct documents ensures a stress-free start to your tropical adventure.
