Documents Needed

If you are an American citizen - and you plan to move and live in the VI then you need to bring a valid passport or notorized birth certificate and a valid photo ID - these are needed when you want to leave the island to visit or return to the mainland. To get a job you will need to present your social security card, often a driver's license if you have one, and proof of citizenship. If you plan to work in the restaurant industry you have to get a health card but that is done locally on island. If you are not a citizen but you are a resident - then you need to have your alien resident card and social security card in order to work.
