Its yet again just one more small loss of freedom.  I can't wait until we need passport to travel from one state to another WITHIN the US.

Good question sir.. I believe it will provide tighter control on entry and exist of legal border crossing only. By definition, illegal immigration occurs by illegal pessage ways. The ID cards don't apply to illegal pessage ways..right ? If someone from Mexico and Canada is datermined to cross the broder from a dark ally, they still will, ragardless of the use of an ID card at the legal crossings i.e. a border. The two issues are totally separate.

America is big.  There are lots of different cities and places to travel within the country.  There are things in America that Americans haven't experienced or seen.  They probably just want to check out their country before they go to other countries.  Besides, there's a lack of time and money.  It's not as feasible for Americans to travel to other countries all the time so there really is no need for a passport.

when you enter the USA , if you are a US citizen, the law requires you to identify yourself as a US citizen.\n\nAs far as traveling to Canada or another country it's your choice what passport you want to use but when you enter the USA you need to use your American passport.\n\nCitizens of Spain do not require a visa to visit Canada as a tourist.

I did a lot of traveling outside the U.S., but never required a passport. I've visited countries such as Hong Kong, Australia, Thailand, and Japan. But then again, it was all while I was in the Navy, and all I needed was my military ID.\n\nSince I've out of the Navy, the only places I've traveled outside the U.S. was Canada and Mexico. Didn't need a passport for either of these.

Getting a passport is one thing, but getting an entry visa is quite another.   Your P.O. will be able to tell you what you can do about getting a passport, when or if.  If you are completely without a P.O., then I doubt you will have a problem getting the passport.  But you can bet that Thailand, especially, won't welcome you if then know about your history!

Aww crap. I did a whole thing saying you don't need it to get into Canada. Then I did my research. Oh well I'm an idiot. But anyway, since I have now learned, you need the IELTS. \n\nFrom Wikipedia:\n"IELTS is accepted by most Australian, British, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand and South African academic institutions, by an increasing number of academic institutions in the USA, and by various professional organisations. It is also a requirement for migration to Canada."\n\nRead the article on Wikipedia about it: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IELTS

In the past few days they raised the ID requirements for leaving and entering the country.  I'm betting that everybody will need a passport.

If you are just moving for a while, just get your identification in order, get a visa, and go.  If you are immigrating, contact Canadian immigration and they will fill you in.

Honestly, I don't think to many Americans hold passports....Most Americans don't travel abroad....We just like to travel here domestically, we have so many wonderful places to visit in our own country, why travel abroad.....?  I do have a passport and enjoy traveling abroad...

Well, I'm in Mexico as I write this, and I'm returning after March 1st.  I was told I didn't have to have a passport to return (I certainly didn't need it to get down here), so I'm definitely hoping you don't have to have one.  \n\nGo to http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html and do a little research.\n\nEDIT 3.6.06:\n\nWell, I'm back and with no birth certificate.  Sailed through with no problems.  Good ol' USA.

Bring your passport and your personal identification  (Driver's license or US State ID) or a birth certificate.  You do not need to have any specific documents unless you plan to have an extended stay. If you plan to work or have an extended stay you should contact the state department of the country you plan to visit or work in and obtain paperwork from them.  It depends upon what it is you want to do - school or work, how long you want to stay.  Once you have done that paperwork crossing the border is easy.  Have the documents available for the immigration official who will be interviewing you.  Going into Canada is not usually a problem.  Getting back into the US is the catchy part.  Make sure you have all of the things you purchased in Canada available w/ receipts and all of the ID i mentioned.. Be honest and don't bring in/back anything that is illegal to have in the country you are entering.

Actually, doggdoc, I'd move to Canada. (They protect anyone in the country from being forcefully brought back out, FYI.) I don't call it fleeing, I call it supporting my rights.

Well, he can't send you a passport; you can only get a passport from the country in which you are a citizen.\n\nAside from that little faux pas, I would go for it.

As a Canadian citizen, on a temporary visit for pleasure, you do not need a visa.  While you could enter by land with just proof of citizenship and a photo ID, the Government of Canada continues to recommend that Canadians carry a valid Canadian passport for all visits to the United States.\n\nYou're most likely to be admitted for 6 months.  However, if you have a "bunch of stuff" with you that leads the US CBP officer to believe that you are moving permanently to the US, and do not intend to return to Canada, you may be denied entry all together. \n\nhttp://www.amcits.com/canada.asp#documentation\n\nhttp://www.voyage.gc.ca/main/sos/ci/cur-en.asp?txt_ID=852

Yes. You are currently required to produce your drivers license as identification at the border. In the next few years you will need a passport to make the crossing.\n\nCanada will also do a criminal records check and may deny entry if you have a criminal history or open warrants.
