Crossing The US Border from Canada?
I would like to know if a Canadian Health Card with your birth certificate is enough ID to cross the border
to my knowledge the only picture ID you can use for that is a driver's license or a designated photo id (kind of like a driver's license but for use as a photo id) I used to work in a retail establishment and we were told that legally we could no longer use health cards as photo id and if we did we could be fined.

Not acceptable.

If you don't have a licence, then a government issued photo id (like OHIP or other prov. health care card) plus birth certificate will be fine. I would suggest getting a passport because soon enough it will be the only way to get across.

Your driver's license is probably a better choice to use because it has your address on it. I think the health card has an address on the back. BUT .. as of June 1st, 2009 a passport will be required to cross the border.

I don't know about a Canadian Health Card. When I cross the border in August I had to have my birth certificate and a current picture ID. So if your CHC has your face on it that should do. If not then get a passport. They gave me such a hassle crossing into the US that was the first thing I did when I got home.

going to the US from Canada you need a passport. FYI a health card is not acceptable as ID anywhere
