It depends on where you're coming from.

Travel between Canada and USA for example, requires a passport or international travel document issued by your state.

Can you go to the US and Canada with a birth certificate and a valid drivers license?

No passport required


When do you need a pasport to travel to the us from Canada?

If you are traveling from Canada to the US by any mode of transportation other than road, you will need to have a valid passport. This includes but is not limited to air, rail, and sea. If you are traveling from Canada to the US via road, you need two pieces of identification. One must be a government- issued ID that has your picture on it, such as a driver's license. The second piece of identification you must have is some sort of proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.


Is a passport needed to travel fromToronto Canada to Vanacouver Canada?

Not if you're a US citizen. Just bring proof of American citizenship like your birth certificate. On the other hand, if you wish to come back to the US, you will need your passport. So your passport is the best form of ID when you travel abroad.


Do you need a passport to travel within canada?

I'm Canadian, and yes, it's adviseable to not only have your passport, but birth certificate and anyone else who is traveling with you (including children) should as well. We have to do the same thing going across to the States and it doesn't really bother us at all. Legally you can cross into Canada from the US with just proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization papers. A passport will be required for all US citizens after Dec. 31, 2007. You should also have proof of US citizenship for all children, and written permission if they are not accompanied by both parents. A driver's license and social security card or other picture ID is NOT proof of citizenship. By all means, if you have a passport, take it.

You used to be able to Canada with just a birth certificate until around 2011 when the laws changed. However you need a passport to travel pretty much anywhere outside the US now and you can use your birth certificate and license or state i.d. to get a passport. You need a visa to travel to a few places and you need 4 duplicates of your visa if you travel to Africa.

Your friend cannot travel across international borders if she does not have adequate documentation. First of all, a birth certificate will not help you get across an international border. If she does not have a passport, US passport card, "enhanced" drivers license or "enhanced" non-driver ID, then she will not be permitted to enter Canada.
