# New U.S. Passport Requirements for U.S., Canadian, Mexican, Caribbean Travel

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has implemented a mandate (The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative) that phases in new passport requirements for all travelers to and from the Americas (including Mexico, Panama, and Canada), the Caribbean, and Bermuda. This will require a passport or other accepted form of documentation (U.S. Permanent Resident Card, DHS Travel Document/Refugee Document or Re-entry Permit, or other passport-replacing document) when entering or leaving the United States. This initiative has been implemented in phases, with the proposed timeline as follows:

    * On January 23, 2007 - All passengers including U.S., Canadian and Bermudian nationals are required to hold a valid passport (or valid passport replacing document as described above, i.e. U.S. Permanent Resident Card, DHS Travel Document etc.) to enter the United States if entering/leaving by air. This requirement applies to all air travel to or from the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Canada.

    * On January 31, 2008 - Oral declarations of citizenship are no longer accepted at land/sea border crossings. Some form of documentation proving citizenship is required. For details see http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingbord...

    * On June 1, 2009 - Land/Sea border crossing requirements become identical to the air travel requirements implemented on January 23, 2007.

Answer 10

You need a passport, but I believe to obtain a passport you need a birth certificate.

I also believe that you NEED a passport if youre going out of the U.S and into any other country, so it'd be a better idea to go apply for a passport, although it's a very tedious process, than show up at the airport or wherever and not be able to get into Canada because you only have a birth certificate.

Answer 11

you need a passport i think.
