Where does this information come from? I transited each way in early-June of 2008 (yes, just three weeks ago) on a drivers license (Oregon) and a birth certificate, via the Black Ball ferry out of Port Angeles/Victoria. No official on either side questioned my ID.?

Dave,

The information comes from the Dept Homeland Security website:

http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingborders

They originally were going to have all land and sea visitors subject to the passport requirement but that has been put on hold. Now it is only air passengers that are required to have a passport. That will change.

Cheers,

Rob G
