Q: What Documents Must You Present?
A: A U.S. citizen must present a passport if traveling from outside of the Western Hemisphere (The Western Hemisphere includes North, Central, and South America). If traveling from inside the Western Hemisphere, any proof of U.S. citizenship that clearly establishes identity and nationality is permitted, such as a birth record or baptismal record.Hope that helps. :thumbsup:
It helped lead me to my answer, but I’m Canadian
I guess we don’t need a passport as of now to travel in the U.S.
Any Canadians here travel to Spring Break or any where else in the U.S. without a Passport?

Oooops! I had a stupid moment–sorry about that. :flush:
Here’s the info you ARE looking for…

Entry of Citizens of Canada
Citizens of Canada are exempt from the visa and passport requirement of Immigration and Nationality Act (section 212(a)(7).) To enter the United States, a Canadian citizen must be able to establish both identity and citizenship. Documents that may establish citizenship are:Birth certificate
Citizenship certificate
Passport.
Although a CBP officer may accept an oral declaration of citizenship, it is recommended that a Canadian citizen carry a document that establishes citizenship. Under current procedures, all travelers may be required to present photo-identification.Here’s a tip for traveling across the US border. If you bring an animal DON’T carry animal food (or don’t claim it). They held us for 1.5 hours for carrying Iams dog food. If you carry animal food you are subject to a full vehicle search.
I’m a US citizen and I have more hassle getting back home than I do getting into Canada. Last time I traveled to BC they didn’t ask me for any ID. I told them I was going fishing and she said have a great time eh.

you should have a passport anyways, it is just apart of life and if you are in the global internet life it is just common sense.
I believe they just passed a law in the US that if you want to return to Canada anywhere from the US border you need a passport. I go to Canada frequently and I do need it now to enter when I get to customs- this is by car though.
