Please bring one of the acceptable proofs of U.S. Citzenship to cross the border into Canada. Click Here for information about travel in Canada from the U.S. Department of State.

passport cardThe U.S. Department of State has begun issuing Passport Cards in response to the needs of border resident communities for a less expensive and more portable alternative to the traditional passport book.  The card has the same period of validity as a passport book: 10 years for an adult, five for children 15 and younger.  Adults who already have a fully valid passport book may apply for the card as a passport renewal and pay only $20.  First-time applicants pay $45 for adult cards and $35 for children.

The passport card facilitates entry and expedites document processing at U.S. land and sea ports-of-entry when arriving from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda.  The card may not be used to travel by air.  Otherwise, it carries the rights and privileges of the U.S. passport book and is adjudicated to the exact same standards.
