When canadians drive to usa, do they need a passport?

Question

If you're a canadian and you're planning a road trip to Minnieapolis, do you need a passport with you?

Answer 1

NO, you do not require a passport to cross the border into the US by land.   You require proof of citizenship (birth certificate, citizencard, or a passport)  and a form of picture ID such as a driver's license or other government issued ID card.  

Passport requirments to cross by land do not take effect until 2009.  

But if you do have a passport - use it - it's the best form of proof of citizenship and identification you can carry.

Answer 2

Yes you do, border patrol will still want to see your paperwork.  They do not know if you are canadian just by looking at you.

Answer 3

until June 2009 you can still cross the border with a drivers license and a birth certificate,after then you will need a passport

if flying you need a passport now

Answer 4

Yes. You will need your passport and your information. Bring your traveling document. USA IS a country. And I think security has tighten up since they're afraid of...whatever they're afraid of...

Answer 5
