Does your us citizen passport get stamped when entering Canada?

Does an American citizen need a passport when entering and leaving Canada from the US?

  • What would be appropriate ID in lieu of a passport?

  • Answer:

    You do not NEED a passport but it does make it easier. You will, however, need: 1. Proof of your U.S. citizenship such as your U.S. passport (For information on obtaining a U.S. passport, check with one of the regional passport agencies located throughout the U.S.) or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, you should travel with your naturalization certificate. A driver’s license, voter’s registration card or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship. 2. Photo identification, such as a current, valid driver’s license.

Currently no, but that might change shortly due to security concerns with terrorists.

You need it to return. Getting into canada couldn't be easier. The booths are manned by high school kids. On the way back into the US the booths are manned by armed guards. In Soviet Russia, Border crosses you.

Starting January 1, 2007, you will need a passport to get back into the US. Right now a picture ID for adults, and birth certificate for children. If you are going with one parent even with your own children, you will need a letter from the other parent giving permission for you to cross the border.

Of course you do. It will be best to bring your passport and or green card.
