Should I travel From Cali to Florida using a new Portuguese passport? Would you risk it...?

Yes

No


My brother is getting married soon. Well he already is..now they are just having the ceremony in a few weeks. It's going to be in Florida where all my family and friends that I haven't seen in over a year are. I'm in California. Should I "risk" going with my Portuguese passport, it's new so it's completely blank??

I'm torn. I don't wanna take a risk. But I'm tired of being held back by my situation, once again.

I wouldn't fly if I was going. But then again, taking Greyhound from CA to FL will add days to your trip... I think you should go on a road trip with a friend. That's the safest bet.

I travel from NYC to FL with my blank Venezuelan passport twice a year. Not a problem yet.

Is the Venezuelan passport still handwritten? Mine is. But It's also form the '90s.

I think you should definitely get more information about this. Do you have any family members who are also planning on doing this?

Amtrak could be another option (as long as it's taken nowhere near the border).

Where in CA are you? I was in the John Wayne (irvine) airport recently and saw someone go through with a passport. The lady had it opened to the ID part before she checked in, showed it, her identity was verified and she moved on. They did not check anything else. It was quick and to the point. However the passport was colored red and the lady who held it seemed Caucasian. So that might have had something to do.
If you decide to go please update the thread for the rest of us.

Thanks everyone for your input.

My passport is also red. But I'm brown.

Wish simple thing like flying weren't such a big deal.
