not yet , for now bring absolute proof of who you are [ drivers license , etc . } Later this year , you will have to have a passport to go to Canada , and to come back . Get one now , they take up to 3 months to arrive

Lila gave you the only CORRECT answer...passports are NOT needed for LAND travel to and from Canada. You need the photo I.D. and proof of citizenship...EITHER a passport OR a birth certificate.

I live right beside Niagara Falls (Canadian side) and cross the border frequently. And no you do not need a passport. That is only required for air or sea travel. Proper government is id like a driver's licence, birth certificate and any other id is all you will need. Bring at least 2 to 3 pieces.Coming to Canada is a lot easier for American's than you think.You get asked a few question's and you are on your way.Hope this helped and enjoy your trip.

If you're an American citizen,you don't need a passport when crossing the border into Canada by LAND or SEA until June 2009. You need a driver's license and birth certificate.

PS: you'll need a valid passport to travel by AIR

All travelers by air to Canada must have a passport. For those traveling by water or land, you do not yet need a passport. It's not so much the getting into Canada that's the problem. As long as you have photo ID and proof of citizenship (like a birth certificate), they'll let you in. But the US Border Patrol won't let you back without a passport, beginning, last I heard, sometime in 2009. The date has already been pushed back a couple of times due to complaints, but the air travel is a done deal. No passport, you don't get anywhere near the plane.

Yes, you do need a passport when driving from the US to Canada and vice versa. They just started to check for passports this past year.

You need a passport to get to Mexico.
That is the new law in the United States as of January 1, 2008.
