THANK YOUPassports are not required until June 2009, so you are safe to use just your DL and birth certificate. BUT, if and when you are going back to OCC for your fills, it will be required of you to have your passport. So, be prepare and get it now, while the rate is low. I've purchased mine 2 years ago, as I travel, and that is the only item I use at the border custom.
Chad Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Here is some additional information on how to get a passport from your local post office. http://www.usps.com/passport/
CindyLou Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Remember it can take up to 12 weeks or longer to get it back! So, if anyone anticipates needing to go after june, now is the time to get the application in!
Cujo Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 When the passport requirement kicked in for Canadians flying to the states, our passport office was insanely backed-up. The same thing will happen down there. Get yours now before the rush.
Fabi Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 ok ty guys i guess ill take the passport think more seriouse and get mine I already missed two appts at the post office lol ill defently go to my 3rd appt
Amanda2008 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Both times I came back through with my driver's license and social security card. I have NO idea where my birth certificate is. Today (I had a fill yesterday) I also brought a copy of my passport, which is expired (I couldn't find the passport either, but I had a paper copy! hah!). Today it took the guy like 5 minutes to let me through, but he did! Definitely get a passport - I am going to get mine renewed asap.
