Do we need a passport to go to Canada from Michigan? |
Travel Info Next August, 2008, my husband and I have a meeting in Canada, and are planning to take our children, the oldest of whom will be 11. We are all US (Michigan) citizens. Will we all need passports, how much does a passport cost, and how long is it valid? Is this done through the Secretary of State's office? Travel Tips This isn't static, it is a work in progress, so you will need to keep on top of it between now and then. Right now, the suggested rules for next year (driving) is you and your husband will need passports and you will need birth certificates for the kids. (Revised rules announced Feb 2007) I would start the process soon. Passports are valid for 5 years, and the US has an easier process to renew a passport. You can get an application at any post office, or at my second link. It costs $97 each, plus photos. See the link - scroll to the bottom for Children. The rule change in the news today is those flying this summer only need to show they applied for a passport because of passport issue backlogs. So, they still would have had to apply for one.

Other Travel Tips you'll need one by then!!! they are mandating it as we speak!!! i got my passport at the post office!!!! costs about $100 Yes you do need a passport. It is just like one of those airplane passorts. U.S. puts new passport rules on summer hiatus The U.S. State Department has temporarily eased tough new passport rules for air travellers to and from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/articlenews/st... Normally, yes since they changed the law last year, but it has been temporarily suspended due to a backlog of applications clogging the system Fresh from ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/politics/wirestory... |
