Passport rules to Canada change

Heading to Canada? Not so fast!

New rules that took effect on Jan. 31 that require travelers who are 19 years of age and older who are crossing the U.S./Canadian border to show government-issued photo ID as proof of identity.

This can be a driver's license along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate, or a passport. Children age 18 and under will be able to enter with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, naturalization certificate or a passport.

Verbal claims of citizenship and identity alone will not be sufficient to establish identity and citizenship for entry into the United States.
