Traveling Nearby? You'll Need Documentation.Since January 23, 2007, travelers between the United States and our nearby neighbors, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Panama, Central and South America, and in the Caribbean, have had to present passports for air travel. Since January 31, 2008, a government-issued photo id, such as a driver's license, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, has been required for land or sea entry into the US. Other officially sanctioned documentation, such as a passport, or NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST cards, are also acceptable. For children 18 years old and younger, a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship is required. This change comes as a result of rules required by law to enhance Homeland Security. ITSA and its members strongly urge you to obtain a passport if you don't already have one. And start early – the current wait for a passport is four – six weeks.
