New Requirements for Travelers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI)
ALL PERSONS traveling by air outside of the
United States are required to present a passport or other valid travel document
to enter or re-enter the United States.
LAND AND SEA TRAVEL
The following summarizes information available on the
Department of
Homeland Security’s website.
 | CURRENTLY:
U.S. citizens need to present either (a) a passport, passport card (scheduled
to be in full production beginning in July 2008), or
WHTI-compliant
document; or (b) a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license,
along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. |
 | LATER:
On June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full requirements of
the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens
entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have a passport,
passport card, or
WHTI-compliant document. |
Note: The passport requirement does NOT apply
to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a
U.S.
territory.
U.S. PASSPORT AND WHTI COMPLIANT DOCUMENTS:
 | U.S. Passport: U.S. citizens may present
a valid U.S. passport when traveling via air, land or sea between the U.S. and
the aforementioned Western Hemisphere countries. |
 |
The Passport Card: Passport card applications are currently being
accepted in anticipation of land border travel document requirements. Based
on current projections, we expect the passport card to be in full
production beginning in July 2008. We will provide additional updates as
available. Once in production, the passport card it will only be valid for
land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region,
and Bermuda. |

or sea, as of January 31, 2008: |
