Driving Though Canada From ALASKA to WA?

Question

They say if you have a DUI that you can't go though, and if you area a felon, or A DV charge, and that you need $1000 and A LOT of diff things, everything I have looked up pretty much says no DUI's (you need to pay fee's and fill out requests) and you need proof of being a US citizen -sp-.
I need to know what all is true. And Were would these be obtained? Or just direct me in a web site that could let me know... I don't have a DUI (I'll be the one driving) but my spouse (who will be the passenger) has one .

Answer 1

Yes, Canada is very strict about DUI's, and yes, there is a lot of paperwork involved, and a fee of either $200 or $1,000 depending on the offense.

If traveling through Canada is not possible, an alternative is the ferry from Alaska to Bellingham, WA.

Answer 2

the best thing to do is to call the State government Council in WA and find out exactly what you can and can't do. I think if you have a valid license in Alaska then you can drive anywhere in the states.
