It used to be that you could just use a drivers licence, but I"ve heard that you now need a passport? Is this true?

All you need presently to get into Canada is a drivers license, though sometimes they do ask for proof of citizenship (birth certificate), but not usually.
HOWEVER!! ... to get BACK IN to the US, you will need both a drivers license AND birth certificate, or other comparable ID, such as a passport.
As it stands now, passports will be required to enter the US from Canada beginning 2007.

I live in Windsor and this subject is in the news all the time.
At last report you will not need a passport until July of 2009.
I went from Canada to the U.S. today and needed 3 pieces of id. Drivers licence, Birth Cert., and Health Card worked just fine. As long as at least one has your photo and one is your Birth Cert.

No, you do not need a passport until Dec. 31, 2006. I carry a driver's license AND a birth certificate just in case.

If a citizen people, Canada, or Mexico and travelling with the help of land or sea before 31 December 2007 into any of the three member international places, you require: - - evidence of citizenship (which may be passport, start certificate, and/or naturalization papers) - - AND image id (which may be passport, US or Canada motive force's licence, or armed forces id) If a citizen people, Canada, or Mexico and travelling with the help of land or sea AFTER 01 January 2008 into Canada or Mexico, you require: - - a passport (initially, the U. S. replaced into also protected in this crew. besides the undeniable fact that, delays in passport processing have moved the U. S. requirement date - for getting into the U. S. - to June 2008). in case you a citizen of a rustic except Canada, US, or Mexico, you require a passport. you also require any documentation with regards to your everlasting residency status (if acceptable), and any shuttle visas required for the country you want to enter ... depending fullyyt on the country issuing your passport. All voters (regardless of united states of starting place) were required to have a passport to enter the U. S., Canada, or Mexico with the help of air in view that 01 January 2007.

A driver license will do sometimes, but a birth cert or passport is better.
