U.S. to Require Passports for Canada, Mexico Travel
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. travelers to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda will need passports to return to the United States by 2008 under a new terrorism prevention policy, American officials said on Tuesday.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, to be phased in by 2008 in three proposed stages, will also require nationals of those countries and territories to present passports when entering the United States, the officials said.
Many North American cross-border travelers to and from the United States and its North American neighbors now need only drivers' licenses or other identification.
But from Dec. 31, 2007, passports or their equivalent will be the only documents accepted under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, the officials said.
Under a proposed timetable that will be formalized later this year after a public review period, the passport rule will be imposed on air and sea travel to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda and Central and South America on Dec. 31, 2005. It will be extended to Canada and Mexico on Dec. 31, 2006.
"We want folks to think about their travel to and from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda as equivalent to taking a trip to Europe or Asia," said Elaine Dezenski, the Department of Homeland Security's acting assistant secretary for border and transportation security policy.
