I keep reading everywhere that one does not need a passport as long as
you have proof of citizenship. I read the same in two or three gov
sites. I am copying and pasting something I got from the Dep or
Homeland Security. Here is the URL:

Beginning January 31, 2008, U.S. and Canadian citizens 19 years and
older who enter the U.S. at land and sea ports of entry from within
the Western Hemisphere will need to present government-issued photo
ID, such as a driver=92s license as proof of identity, along with proof
of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization
certificate, or a passport. Children age 18 and under will be able to
enter with proof of citizenship. Verbal claims of citizenship and
identity alone will not be sufficient to establish identity and
citizenship for entry into the United States.
I do have a "naturalization certificate" that I can show. |
