Back To TopThe answer depends on a couple of factors including your country of citizenship.
• For citizens of Canada
o If traveling by air, a passport is required.
o If traveling by land or sea, currently either
(a) a passport, passport card or WHTI-compliant document; or
(b) a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.
As early as June 1, 2009 requirements for travel by land or sea are expected to change and the U.S. government will begin much stricter enforcement of these new documentary requirements.
Also, please note that upon entry into the United States your photograph and digital fingerprints will be collected. Many countries around the world use biometrics as a way of facilitating the international travel process, protecting travelers against identity theft, and preventing document fraud as well as for security purposes.
