HOME BOUND

Can I travel to Canada from the United States without a passport and only a birth certificate?

You cannot travel with only a birth certificate. You must have an official photo ID, something such as a driver's licence. You won't need a passport for a while yet, but the day is coming when you will need a passport to cross the border.


JuanB
If you travel by land or sea you can cross the border with a birth certificate if you also have government issued photo ID, like a drivers license.

Eventually you will need a passport, but not yet.

hallo,
Starting January 23rd, 2007 all United States citizens need a valid US passport to enter Canada. United States legal residents (Green Card holders) need their original Green Card and a passport from their country of origin.

Travellers crossing the border by land or sea require a government issued photo ID such as a drivers license and a birth certificate. If you were not born in the US but are a US citizen then you should bring your citizenship card as well. If you plan on travelling by air then you will require a passport. If you are too young to have a drivers license or other form of ID and are travelling with you parents then a birth certificate will probably be sufficient. I would reconfirm this before travelling however and, if you have any type of photo ID, bring it.

The rules were to have changed in January to require a passport for all travel, then they were postponed until July, 2008 and, as of now, they have been postponed further until sometime in 2009.


Etienne
If you're driving to canada, yes. In fact it's much cheaper to get a copy of your birth certificate, then to get a passport.

although, if you're flying, your required to have a passport.


Susan F
You can get into Canada, the trick is getting back to the US. My understanding is that you don't need a passport at this point, but a birth certificate is necessary.


pamela d
as long as you have a birth certificate l can`t see why. but check first before you go


cyberfoxey
Not any more; I believe the new rules took effect January 1, 2008. You need the passport, sadly.
