Question

Flying to canada by air getting back by land do i need a passport?

Answer 1

When you enter Canada, a CBSA officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, if one is necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as photo identification. If you are a permanent resident of the U.S, you should bring your Permanent Resident Card (i.e., green card) with you.

All Americans traveling by air outside the United States are required to present a passport or other valid travel document to enter or re-enter the United States .  This requirement will be extended to sea travel (except closed loop cruises), including ferry service, by the summer of 2009.  Until then, U.S. citizens traveling by sea must have government-issued photo identification and a document showing their U.S. citizenship (for example, a birth certificate or certificate of nationalization), or other WHTI compliant document such as a passport card for entry or re-entry to the U.S.   Sea travelers should also check with their cruise line and countries of destination for any foreign entry requirements.

Answer 4

Do I need a passport to travel to Mexico and Canada?

The answer is yes if traveling by air: you need a passport to return to the United States. The answer is no if crossing borders by land or sea. And then it gets whacky.

Recommendations made by the Department of Homeland Security's Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative caused passport rules to change in 2007: travelers now need passports if returning to the US by air from Canada and Mexico.

DHS will be requiring passports from US citizens crossing Mexican and Canadian borders by land or sea as of June 1, 2009, and will give 60 days notice before that requirement goes into effect. One of three things will happen before a legislated mandatory date of June 1, 2009 (issued by Congress in order to allow the Department of Homeland Security to make the change effectively and smoothly) arrives:

The PASS card passport substitute will become available -- US citizens were able to begin applying for a PASS card as of February 1, 2008
