License and birth certificate are good enough. You absolutely do not need a passport. You may want two forms of photo ID, though that shouldn't be necessary.

You will need a passport in late 2007 or so. Just a picture ID and a birth cert. will do today. I did get hung up once with a photocopy of a birth certificate. Bring one with a raised seal if possible.

Re: how to get into canada?
Slight hijack-
I have a DWAI (lesser offense than DWI) and in the drunk driving class I was forced to take by the court the instructor said that basically we couldn't get into canada because DWI is such a serious offense there and we could be arrested for trying. Anyone know anything about this? I did a google search and I found a lot of conflicting info. |

[/ QUOTE ] Slow response here, but I can say that I got into Canada while technically still not allowed to leave the US becuase of a DWI arrest earlier in the year. It was New Years Eve and I was with friends heading for Montreal, so the guy let me slip through. I do know that the problem was not at all related to the fact that I had a DWI, only that it was still under its Continued without a Finding status. |
