WESTERN HEMISPHERE TRAVEL INITIATIVE RULE OUTLINES NEW DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR AIR TRAVEL

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Department of State announced the official requirement for citizens of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda to present a passport to enter the United States when arriving by air from any part of the Western Hemisphere beginning Jan. 23, 2007.

A separate proposed rule addressing land and sea travel will be published at a later date proposing specific requirements for travelers entering the United States through land and sea border crossings. As early as Jan. 1, 2008, U.S. citizens traveling between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea will be required to present a valid U.S. passport or other documents as determined by DHS. While recent legislative changes permit a later deadline, the departments of State and Homeland Security are working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain acceptable documents for land and sea entries.

For the final rule, go to www.dhs.gov or www.travel.state.gov. The rule will be published in the Federal Register on Friday, Nov. 24, 2006, where it can be viewed at www.regulations.gov.
