Question

What type of ID do I need to travel to Canada?

Answer 1

Typically, a passport is necessary for travel to Canada. If you don't have a passport and you're travelling by land or sea into Canada from the US, and you are a US citizen, you can enter with a birth certificate and driver's license. However, a passport is required for citizens of all other countries, and in some cases, you will need a visa as well.
