Feds Delay Passport Requirement - Again
American citizens won't need a passport to cross the land borders until the middle of next year, delaying that requirement by more than a year.More here.
New identification document requirements, the Department of Homeland Security and Department of State announced Thursday, will take effect June 1, 2009. By that date, travelers will need to present documents that show both identification and U.S. citizenship to cross back from Mexico and Canada. For most travelers, that will mean a passport.
The policy shift is the final step of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), which changes document requirements for travelers who were previously exempt — including citizens of the U.S., Canada and Bermuda.
