Stupid Question: Travel to Canada
I've got to go to Canada this weekend and, not thinking about this trip, I
sent in my passport for renewal today. In the past, I always used my passport for travel to Canada, so I never gave much thought to entry and re-entry requirements. Can I fly to Canada and back with just my drivers license? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks in advance. Likely not. The airline will probably not allow you to fly, though you can call them and see what their rules are. You will likely need some proof of citizenship. Your birth certificate would be adequate, assuming you are US born. |

You also need proof of your US citizenship. |

I have heard gate agents announce that birth certificates must have a "raised seal", and that might be key. I have no idea what the significance is of the raised seal. |

I have heard gate agents announce that birth certificates must have a "raised seal", and that might be key. I have no idea what the significance is of the raised seal. It means it's officially issued, as opposed to a photocopy. I just ransacked the house and found one. The seal is kind of flattened (I got this one in 1984), but I suspect it will do. What was I thinking sending in my passport today? |
