US Passport Laws in Place as of June 1, 2009
If you are used to going across the border to Mexico and Canada, you know that crossing the border and getting back was a matter of producing a birth certificate. But, no longer...
On June 1, 2009, the final phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) took place, putting restrictions on those traveling to Canada and Mexico. Simply put, you’ll need a US Passport or another form of WHTI-compliant ID to cross the border. For the most part, a US passport is the most recognizable and easiest WHTI-compliant document to obtain. With the anticipated increase in passport applications, it might be a good idea to go ahead and apply for a passport now.
