To get into Belize from the USA do I need a Current Passport or just a Birth Certificate?

you need a passport.

Was this really a serious question?
However maybe a birth certificate with a picture would be different.

Thanks for the info. And yes it was a serious question. Some countries only require a certified Birth Certificate.

Well, actually.... if you are coming by cruise, you do not need a passport.
I attended a BZ Hotel Assn meeting last week and they are lobbying to get the passport requirement lifted for US and Canucks. So, who knows......
Not such a bad question.
Cheerz!

and here I thought, for security reasons, all travel destinations would start requiring passports.

yah dobie - I wouldn't hold my breath on this one being relaxed.

hell the Canucks are even getting tighter

If you are coming to Belize by a US airline, your passport must be valid up to a date 6 months after your arrival in Belize. If you do not have this, you will not be allowed on the plane.

I think they recently relaxed the 6 month post trip time time limit. Just needs to be valid when you are travelling.
