When traveling between Canada and United States, all visitors must carry valid identification that meets current border requirements.
U.S. citizens returning to the United States by land or sea are required to present one of the following:
U.S. citizen children may present a birth certificate (original or copy) or other proof of citizenship such as a naturalization certificate.
Pre-approved travelers can use programs such as NEXUS Program, SENTRI, or FAST Program to expedite border crossings.
Requirements may vary for specific groups, including minors traveling without both parents, Indigenous travelers, and boaters. Having the proper documentation ready will help ensure a smooth and efficient border crossing experience.
