“I love Canada...It is a great country much too cold for good sense, inhabited by compassionate, intelligent people with bad hairdos.”
~ Yann Martel, Life of Pi
I'm considering a trip to Canada for an event and want to encourage others to attend. I realized that I'm part of the elite group of Americans (now at 42%) that hold a valid US Passport and I would be negligent to invite friends from the US to buy tickets without mentioning they need proper documentation.
For US residents, you need either a valid US passport or US passport card to travel by car to Canada. Really it's only required by the US to get back into the country, but the Canadians won't let you cross the border if you don't have the documentation to get back home. The passport card has limited uses but is also much cheaper. International air travel (including Americans traveling to Canada or Mexico) requires a valid passport. Both passports and passport cards are Real ID compliant.
Should I get a passport book or card?
