The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative What is Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative?
Beginning January 23, 2007, documentation requirements for international air travel are changing due to new U.S. government regulations. The government requires using a passport, however other documents may also be acceptable depending upon your nationality.
This change in international regulations comes from the Department of Homeland Security for the purposes of ensuring aviation safety and security. This change facilitates entry into, and exit from the United States for U.S. citizens, as well as foreign visitors. Who will the Travel Initiative affect?
The travel document initiative affects all United States citizens traveling by air within North America. It also affects certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States-namely Canadian citizens, Mexican citizens, and citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. For current information please go to the U.S. Department of State Web site. Other than a passport, what types of documents will be acceptable under this initiative?
The passport is the document of choice right now because of security features and general availability. Individuals traveling within North America are encouraged to obtain a passport.
The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State are working to determine acceptable alternative documents other than a passport as soon as possible. For the latest updates please go to the U.S. Department of State Web site. How do I get a passport?
