Can you use both a U.S. and Mexican passport while traveling?

I am 18 years old and I will be traveling to Canada will I need a passport or can I use my birth certificate?

  • Answer:

    It depends how you're planning to travel. If you're flying you will need your passport, or other documentation proving your citizenship. To drive in it's probably simplest with passport, although birth certificate (assuming you were born in the US) and photo ID will probably be sufficient. It's good that you're over 18, otherwise you'd have to have proof of a guardian's permission to travel into another country (I faced this hassle trying to fly to Canada with my grandparents at 16)!

You CAN use a birth certificate plus a driver's license, as long as you have US citizenship.

this year a pic id and borth cert. next year passport No. Americans do not a passport to visit Canada. However, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) will require American citizens to present a passport to cross the Canadian border beginning January 1, 2008. For now, if you are an American citizen crossing the border into Canada, you need ID that proves two things: 1) Citizenship, and 2) Identity by way of a photo. A driver's license on its own or a Social Security Card on its own are not valid ID to cross the Canadian border. The following pieces of identification will serve as satisfactory proof of American citizenship to enter Canada: US passport OR Birth certificate, OR Certificate of citizenship or naturalization, AND Photo ID, such as current driver's license

You don't need a passport to go to Canada

U need a passport now or you will soon. The laws are changing. In the past, a birth certificate was enough. Contact a travel agent, they can usually give you the most current information.

For Canada travel, your birth certificate is all that is required. Have fun!

If you don't have a passport, a photo ID like a Driver's license will suffice along with your birth certificate or SS card. However, the border guards may give you some grief over it. When I crossed with a passport, I had no trouble. But the people behind me had license and birth certificate, and the guard was asking them questions about where they lived and who the 16th president was a stuff like that, so I recommend a passport.

Depends on where you are coming from. Normally, if you're a US citizen, a birth certificate would do, but because you are 18, you are still a minor and you would need papers from your parents giving permission for you to cross the border. If you are from another country, you will need a passport and if you are travelling by yourself, you, too, will need papers from your parents. Check with the Canadian consulate first, so you won't have any unpleasant surprises at the border. PS: Canada isn't the one insisting on passports for Americans coming in to Canada, it's Bush who is trying to make passports mandatory for Canadians going into the US.
