Do I need a passport to travel from the USA to Niagara Falls, Canada?

AIR TRAVEL

Implemented on January 23, 2007, ALL PERSONS traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean region are required to present a passport or other valid travel document to enter or re-enter the United States.

LAND AND SEA TRAVEL

The following summarizes information available on the Department of Homeland Security’s website.

JANUARY 31, 2008

U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI-compliant document, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.

LATER

At a later date, to be determined, the departments will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI.

No, not yet. But starting at the end of the month, Buffalo Niagara motorists returning from Canada will have to produce not only a driver’s license, but additional proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport.
