Passport for US to Canada?

[Kommander]

identity theft.

The chip doesn't contain any personal information, just a reference number. If someone manages to clone a chip, they would also need access to the database that matches the code with the personal information.

It’s still best to have one.
A friend of was travelling to race with his Uncle and his mom, just before the passport law came into effect when you could still use just your D/L
Well it seems his Uncle had the same name as someone on a most wanted list
The US Customs came out with guns pointed at them all. By the time it was cleared up they were told if they’d had Passports this wouldn’t have happened.

It's not so much needing one to get "in" to Canada as it is one to get "out."

We do have very aggressive immigration policies...

Yes you'll need one to get back in...

Yes. You either need a passport, passport card or one of those special driver's license dealies (if available).

Edit: And especially so if by air. Two if by sea....

Actually, you don't need one if you go via the Victoria Clipper!

Never taken the clipper but someone wasn't doing their job if you got through.???
last time I drove through I had to have one either trough Blaine or taking the Black Ball,.

Ahh, nevermnd. For a while one didn't need a passport on the Clipper even after the laws had changed everywhere else, but it looks to be a brand new requirement.
