Documents for border crossings
U.S. Customs and Border Protection reminds travelers planning trips across the border into the United States to make sure they have their proper documents handy.
U.S. and Canadian citizens are asked to present proof of citizenship and identity when entering the United States at land and sea ports of entry. This requirement can be met with a passport, NEXUS frequent crosser card, an enhanced British Columbia or Washington State driver’s license or a birth certificate with a driver’s license.
Travelers 18 and under may present just a birth certificate.
During reconstruction of the Peace Arch border crossing, people crossing may want to use the nearby and less traveled Pacific Highway, Lynden or Sumas ports of entry.
