Hey everyone! You are my last hope. So me and my friend decided to take 10 days trip to Puerto Rico. I wasnr on vacation for a while so I've got really excited about it. I've checked couple websites before and found out that you can travel with ID only. But since I started reading some posts on trip advisor I realized that it might be some check ups at the airport. And since my friend is having some (lots) of troubles with her papers and documents we are freaking out right now. All she has is DL. Ticket is not refundable. Sweet excitement is gone! I need your help from everybody who ever travel to PR! What are the chances that you'll get checked up for citenship and should we take a risk?

Google is your friend, check it out online.

I found that you can enter from USA without a passport but on rare occasion you may get asked for proof of citizenship, like passport or green card.
When entering you must be returning to USA and not onward to another destination.

Have your friend check her driver's license. Is there any mention of her immigration status on the DL?

On my PR license it says that I'm a permanent resident so when I used it when traveling within the US they would always ask for my green card.

If there's nothing about her immigration status on the DL she could risk it. They never asked my wife who's a US citizen anything when she used her DL for traveling to and from PR.
I just checked her license and it says that she's a citizen.
