Can a US Voter Registration card plus Driver's License suffice as ID at the US/Canda border?

Question

My husband and I wanted to take a quick weekend trip to Vancouver, BC from Seattle. We'd be crossing at the Peace Arch via car. I have a passport but he does not. We're looking for his birth cert but I heard something about being able to use a US Voter Registration card along with a Photo ID (Drivers License). Can anyone verify this? Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

No a voter card is not good enough.

Theoretically a voter card prooves that you are a citizen, so that plus a drivers license should work.

I'd just give the border station a call. They are good about answering questions.
