I know there are new laws in effect, but i've also heard that Pass Cards and Nexus cards will work as well? Could anyone please give me info and any sites where i can find this information? Thank you very much!

I live in Michigan and went over the border to Canada two weeks ago. I was only required to show my birth certificate and I.D. I'd called the hotel we were staying at over there and asked specifically about the new law and they told me that a birth certificate would be fine.

Check the US passport website. All the updated info you need will be there. But yes, as of January you must have a valid passport when you fly back and forth between Canada and the US. My sister crossed from Canada and back by car and they recommended that she have a passport the next time. Better safe then sorry I alway say.

Crossing on land does not require a passport - only via air travel at the moment - in a couple years you will need a passport for any point of entry. Right now you can get in with any form of government issued photo id.
Same goes for Canadians travelling to the US

Hi there. You ONLY require a passport if you are FLYING into Canada (or into the USA from Canada.) Otherwise, NO you do not require to have a passport to enter Canada. Your drivers license, birth certificate and other I.D. will suffice. It isn't until 2008 that you will need a passport to enter Canada by train, plane or automobile.

You only need the passport if you are flying into the US.
Passports will be mandatory in Jan 2008.
For now a birth certificate and picture ID still works.
Although they like the passports.
I travel back and forth from the US and Canada often.

You do not actually require the passport to enter Canada, but you will need it to return to the U.S. from January 23rd /by air/.
By land or by seas, the pre-existing regulations (government issued ID, birth certificate or such for US or Canadian citizens) is still sufficient.
Canpass is for remote area crossings, and Nexus is to expedite frequent crossings for pre approved travelers.

you may double verify on the government's holiday web site, yet you p.c. a passport to flow everywhere different than the united states and any of its territories. i think of - uncertain - which you would be able to flow to the U. S. virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam and another obscure island and not employing a passport. yet double verify that! you may besides get one provided that they do no longer look to be that high priced, are sturdy for 10 years, and are an extensive-unfold form of identity international.

If you are flying, absolutely. As of 2006, you HAVE to have a valid passport to enter either country by air- you will be asked to present it both ways.
If you are driving, then its 50/50 for now. they dont force you to present a passport, but many border checkpoints will pull you to customs for verification if you dont have one.
