Actually, you DONT need a passport to go to or thru Canada or the US or Mexico IF you are a US citizen. All you need is a valid picture ID and a birth certificate...

Actually, if you're from the U.S. a birth certificate will do. If terrorism becomes an issue I'm sure this will change. Enjoy Vancouver and say hello to the bums in Stanley Park for me. Love that city!

Your license would be fine but get a passport. It's the best ID you can have and well worth the effort.

Answer #11
The last time we went (3yrs) all we had were our drivers license, however we got on the ferry at Port Angeles, WA. It could have changed by now because of 9/11.

Answer #12
Currently, a driver's license/Birth Certificate, but the Department of Homeland Security has a new law in place that will take effect in 2007 (prior to the 2010 Olympics) that will require a passport or special ID card to cross the US border.

Answer #13
Currently, as of today, YOU DO NOT NEED A PASSPORT FOR TRAVEL BETWEEN THE USA AND CANADA. You will need your driver's license and your birth certificate (not a copy). HOWEVER, with that said, starting January 1, 2008 YOU WILL.Here is the information from the USA Government:The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States. In order to facilitate the implementation of this requirement, the Administration is proposing to complete it in phases following a proposed timeline, which will be published in the Federal Register in the near future. This is a change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United States citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports. This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States. Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement. Here is the link for the U.S. Department of State with the above information:
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.htmlHere is the website for you to apply for an American Passport:
http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_832.htmlYou can print out and complete the application before you go to apply. You have to submit your passport application at the post office. Be aware not all post offices accept passport aplications and some only do it certain days and certain times of the day. Here is a link for you to find out the nearest place you can apply:
