REMINDER: Passport Deadline Looms

May 28, 2009 | Posted in: Destinations,Security,Travel Tips

We’ve blogged about this before but I think it’s time for another reminder:

Starting June 1, you will need a passport if traveling throughout the Western hemisphere – a passport or the new passport card or other new ID — and you can see full details on here on the U.S. State Dept. website.

Some of you may be saying, wait – didn’t we always need a passport to get into a foreign country? Yes – if traveling by air. But for years, road-trippers could get into Mexico, for instance, with little more than a birth certificate. The new rules apply to land and sea travelers, so cruise-lovers, take note.

Read up on the rules, so you’re not caught unprepared.

    I saw recently where US citizens with a felony conviction may not be allowed to travel into Canada, even with a valid passport. Is this true?

    Millard,
    Here’s a link to the U.S. State Dept.’s travel site for Canada: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html
    As you will see, it says, “Anyone with a criminal record (including misdemeanors or Driving While Impaired (DWI) charges may be barred from entering Canada and must obtain a special waiver well in advance of any planned travel.” It’s followed by a link on how to obtain a waiver information.
    Hope this helps,
    Rick
