What is now needed to cross the border from Michigan to Canada and back?

Question

I want to go into Canada in the near future and was wondering what is needed to cross the border? I know it used to be a valid drivers licence and birth certificate. Is that still all that is needed?

Answer 1

Still the same. Passports will not be needed for LAND travel til June 2009.  See site below.

Answer 2

Yes that's all you need,your valid driver's license and birth certificate,when you travel by land and sea(until June 2009)
