Crossing US - Canadia border

Is the passport the only thing that will let you pass? How about birth certificate + photo ID of somekind?

*I haven't crossed the border since 1998. Do they require passports now?

Passports will be required in Jan. 06, unless the law is changed (new law). The government is looking at creating a quick ID card for frequent crossers of the border.

It's estimated that only 60 million (20%) of the US population has passport and that the $97 fee would turn off people from crossing the border for work and/or vacations.
 
im not an US citizen (permanent resident) and when I crossed over 4th of July weekend, all they needed was my Indian passport and Green Card.

Mt gf, who is an American ciitizen, required only her passport
 
I've been back and forth many a time through both border crossings (AK/Canada, CONUS/Canada), and all I've had asked of me was a drivers license.
 
You can cross with ID+birth certificate or just driver's license. However, just to avoid potential problems a passport is the best option. As someone said starting soon a passport will be required for entrance from canada.
 
If you are a Middle Eastern man between the ages of 17 and 35 they won't even ask for identification. They don't want to be accused of racial profiling. 😉

Have a great international day. 🙂

If you're white, driver license is fine. Any other race, prepare to whip out your passport.

You can even bring in your rocket launcher in the open.

I think it's the opposite. Us Canadians go out of our way to not show preferential treatment to whities.
