I'd say just get it... it'll make life easier. However, if you're driving, all you need is a driver's license and a birth certificate.

I asked in the General Discussion section, but I'll ask here just in case, anyone looked into the "Passcard" yet?
Appears to be a easier/cheaper way for those who don't fly?

I have a summer home on LOTW and we have passports. GET ONE it's a breaze crossing both into Canada and back into the U.S.. Getting one is very painless, unless your picture looks like the one I got. Mine looks like a mug shot without the number!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I talked to a guy working the counter at the post office last week who didn't know anything about the passport card. He was the only one there and there was a line of people so I didn't ask to see if anyone else could help me. A friend talked to another post office who stated they should have the applications by Feb 1st. I checked the website and these cards look pretty nice and a little cheaper for those of us who may only use if a few times over the next ten years.

Crossing the border by land, no passports needed until 2009. Starting Jan 31, everyone will need drivers lic & birth certificate to get back into the US. If you have a passport that is all you would need to to enter US.

get the passport. its coming eventually. its only $100.

i downloaded the form to fill to save time at the post office. if they process passport forms they usually have a photo service.
i also made out my checks to save time.

i was in and out in 20 minutes. (dont go at noon)

got my birth certificate and passport back in three weeks !

"got my birth certificate and passport back in three weeks !"

Same experience here..I worked a booth for the resort I go to at the All Canada Show in Chicago in mid January..I applied for my passport there..the whole process took about 15-20 mins..I got it in the mail this past Monday and the birth certificate came the following day..

I appreciate the All Canada Show and US Postal Service making the passport booth available at the shows. I went to the Green Bay show 13 days ago and my passport arrived today. I'm glad to hear my birth certificate will also be coming back.

not true. the govt might trigger the passport need anytime after 1/08

it costs 90 bucks or so to get a passport. it's cheap it's easy it's the future anyway unless this is your one and only trip. do it.

took me 30 minutes. picture shoot the whole enchilada. got my passport in 3 weeks!

go to the post office. i suggest you download the application from the www first.

write out the checks in advance. go to the post office with a shoot capability and you're in

piece of cake........plus you can get some stamps to pay those incredible gas bills
