Should work for what? It definitely will not get you back across the border! And it won't get you a passport either. I almost missed my ship down in Rio de Janeiro because I couldn't come up with a birth certificate. The U.S. State Department wouldn't even accept my military ID even though the US Code clearly states that, for an officer or CWO in the Navy or Coast Guard, all that was needed for proof of citizenship was an active duty military I.D. When I confronted them with their own rules they just shrugged it off with the statement "well that's not the way we do business".

In Florida you can use your passport as a proof of ID to renew your driver's license.

How do you prove your ID to get a passport? You can show them your driver's license.

HUH?????

When applying for a passport the first time, you need a certified copy of your birth certificate. When you renew, you just need your passport that is expiring.

why the worry? Just because my passport expired yesterday it does not affect my citizenship today. I thought it was foolish not to accept one. what is the issue?
bumpy

Lately, I don't think they are even concerned if you are a US citizen...c'mon in! :)

As a US Citizen getting back into the USA is rarely an issue.......it's harder crossing borders getting out
