transcript of birth to travel?

[angelgoddessas84]

I have booked a cruise to the Bahamas and need my birth certificate to go, so I ordered one and got a certified transcript of birth data ( I am from NY), it has the seal and all the information on it but it says in big black bold letters that this is not proof of citizenship. Is this going to be good enough or am I going to have to try and scramble for other information and documents that I might need, my mother will not give me my naturlization papers. I should mention that I am adopted from out of the country.

You can get a copy of your naturalization papers on your own. However, it is prohibitively expensive ($380).

How weird that your mother won't give them to you.

Contact the cruise lines and explain the situation.
