Question

Now, if we driving to canada from seattle.do we need the passport to enter the canada and also get back to U.S

Answer 1

You need to show a Certified birth certificate(one with the seal) and a photo id

Answer 2

Although it is much simpler and easier to cross the Can/US borders by car with a passport it is not law till Jan of 09 that we need them.  YOU can use other IDs to prove that you are what ever nationality that you say you are.

Answer 3

If you are a US or Canadian citizen, you do not need a passport if you are driving across the border at the moment. Everyone in the car will need to show a birth certificate and driver's license (or other state-issued photo ID).

If you are not a US or Canadian citizen, you will need to show a passport. Some nationalities require a visa to enter Canada.
