Can someone please confirm (and possibly send a link to a reliable source) as to whether or not my child can cross the land border with just a birth certificate instead of a passport? Hoping to go to Washington from Vancouver. TIA!

Hi Deirdre, by land, Canadians under age 16 can use a birth certificate. Official U.S. Government link: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-1280?language=en_US

Can my Child Cross the Land Border with Just a Birth Certificate?

Many parents wonder if their child can cross the land border with just a birth certificate instead of a passport. This is a common question, especially for those traveling between the United States and Canada.

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website, children under the age of 16 can cross the land border with just a birth certificate. However, it is recommended to also carry a government-issued photo ID for the child, such as a driver's license or a state ID card.

It is important to note that the rules and regulations may vary, so it is always best to check with the specific border crossing you plan to use. Additionally, it is recommended to check the most up-to-date information on the CBP website or contact them directly for confirmation.

It is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to travel documentation, so it is recommended to have a passport for your child if possible. This will ensure a smoother and hassle-free border crossing experience.

Happy travels!
