Do I Need a Passport?

Published Online:17 Feb 2006https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.41.4.0039a

U.S. citizens traveling to and from Canada must have proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a U.S. passport (preferred) or certified copy of their birth certificate, and photo identification, such as a current, valid driver's license. Naturalized citizens should travel with their naturalization certificate. A driver's license, voter's registration card, or Social Security card is not valid proof of citizenship. Alien permanent residents of the U.S. must present their Alien Registration Card, also known as a “green card.”
