The Washington Post was first to break the news that the US passport requirement for travel to the Caribbean has been postponed for at least six months. To re-enter the US, non-US residents need to present a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or original birth certificate. Now the Homeland Security and State departments say the requirement could be made "no sooner than the summer of 2008."
Just two weeks ago, the State Department announced that travelers would be readmitted to the US with proof of having made the application. This was due to a backlog of three million passport applications. The waiver was until 30 September.
