Dismomx5 Posted September 2 #3 Share Posted September 2 (edited) On another thread, I just read this: That might have been true once upon a time, but today there are several options for US residents. As noted previously, those include a passport card, NEXUS/ FAST cards, and Enhanced Drivers Licenses currently issued by the states of Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington. While an EDL is valid for sea travel to Canada, it can't be used for air travel Thanks, @Fouremco for that information Now, if you are a Canadian citizen, yes, you'll need the passport to get into the US.

Start with https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/entry-requirements-country.html. But also consult your cruise line's documentation FAQ. Cruise line requirements may be stricter than Canada's. If you are a resident of the US the following (from https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/td-dv-eng.html) may apply. "US citizens or permanent residents If you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you must carry proof of citizenship such as a: passport birth certificate certificate of citizenship or naturalization certificate of Indian Status along with photo identification US Permanent Resident Card If you are a US permanent resident, ensure you carry proof of your status such as a US Permanent Resident Card." Keep in mind that a Passport is required for international air travel. Edited September 2 by broberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For travel to the US by air, you have the option of using your NEXUS card instead of a passport. For entry by land or sea, there are even more options: a valid passport a Trusted Traveler Program card (NEXUS, FAST, etc.) an enhanced driver’s licence (EDL) or enhanced identification card (EIC) from a province or territory where a U.S. approved EDL/EIC program has been implemented a Secure Certificate of Indian Status for those 15 and under, an original or a copy of a birth certificate, or an original Canadian citizenship certificate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a US citizen, and you are on a closed loop cruise not a B2B, then you mat travel with a certified copy of your birth certificate and a government issued photo ID. Be advised that a passport is recommended.. if you are not a US citizen you will need a passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/western-hemisphere-travel-initiative: "Canadian citizens can present a valid passport, Enhanced Driver’s License, or Trusted Traveler Program card (NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST)." "U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end at the same U.S. port) are able to enter the United States with a birth certificate and government-issued photo ID. Please be aware that you may still be required to present a passport to enter the countries your cruise ship is visiting. Check with your cruise line to ensure you have the appropriate documents."
