Crossing the Border into Canada

[Freelander]

Is a passport required to cross into Canada?

I have a trip planned to go to Alaska and I don't know if I need to get a Passport.

It sounds like you need a copy of the "Milepost",

It's very helpful especially for first timers. They give you the laws at the time of publications as well as the contact numbers to check if anything has changed.

I ask because the only document I have that lists a real street address is my Concealed Carry Card, and I don't think the Border officials would approve of that. LOL

Everything else lists a P.O. Box.

You will need a passport.  Also the border is still closed to most traffic.

You'll need a passport to get back into the US.

Citizenship is the issue, not your address.

Since you mention a CCW, you may want to check the laws on transporting firearms thru Canada.

I will leave them at home.

I don't want to take any chances. Just not worth the effort.

Canada is closed due to Covid. Yes you need a passport, when they open up.

This trip is for next year.

Since I have an Oklahoma DL its not RealID compliant I can't use it, but I do have a Retired Military ID that will work. Also it looks like I may need my Birth Cert, I have it somewhere, so I should be ok with getting a Passport.

If you don't plan to go anywhere else, a less expensive passport card is good for travel to Canada and Mexico.

Dang, I now see they raised the fee from $40 to $65. Still less than the book tho.
