LivingOnE1 Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hi, I'm a newly naturalized US citizen. I have the Certificate of Naturalization, but I don't have a US passport yet. I have a NJ driving license, but MVC still doesn't know I became American a couple of weeks ago. I want to travel to Puerto Rico and back this month. I cannot use my non-American passport since USCIS took my green card when I naturalized. So the only option is the NJ DL. However, since NJ MVC doesn't know yet I am a US citizen, I wonder if I can run into a problem coming back from Puerto Rico. And no, I have no way to inform MVC before my flight date as they are backlogged and gave me an appointment for June. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

JoeF Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Take the certificate of naturalization with you, as proof that you are a US citizen. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Use your DL for ID purposes. You are going to American Territory from American Territory. Like PHL to TPA etc. Quote Link to comment
