    Default Get your Passport Ladies.

    I just saw a segment on MSN NBC a new law the Govornment is passing in January. It will require you to have a passport to travel to Canada or Mexico by air.Geesh! Glad I already got mine.

    Hey, that's you guys, not us! We're just reciprocating. I always cross the border with a passport anyways...less hassle.

    Thats not even close to what the proposed bill is all about:

    I was looking for a mention of this on the DHS website, but have yet to locate it. http://www.dhs.gov

    Anyway, just having a passport doesn't gaurantee your exit or entry anymore if this proposed bill is passed.

    They are so expensive to get. I think mine was about $90 with picture and postage.

    this isn't really that new. They've been warning us about this a few years. If you waited until now to get your passport, you're in for a long wait!

    Yah, they last for 10 years(if you're over 15, i assume most everyone here is). So theres no excuse for not having one. Why wait to the last minute?

    You only need two photos, shouldn't cost more than $10 for that. Otherwise here is the rate charges:

    You can get an application you print yourself off the website or at pretty much any post office and some libraries.

    A number of the Post Offices are able to take the pictures for you.

    Expensive at $90? o.O; It's a passport that allows you to travel the world - that's a minor expense! Mine was last minute and ended up being an emergency passport - a cost of $180.

    Anyway, there's (apparantly) a new law being passed requiring all Americans to be APPROVED before leaving the country?

    Can someone confirm?

    yeah, it is weird that so many Americans don't have passports, but to be fair, there are so many places we could go without needing one. To go to another continent is a big (expensive) deal.

    For traveling outside of North America, a passport has always been required, but only a photo ID is neccesary traveling to a neighboring country (Canada or Mexico), at least until this new law takes effect. Some other countries have similar agreements with their neighbors.

    Wow, um, that's not what it's about. XD (Passports, I mean.)

    I was thinking more along the lines of going through canada as there are a lot of places in vermont you can cross over with no border patrol. getting into canada is no problem, its getting back into the US that i'd need to go backroads.


    **Edit** ok, i realize i responded seriously to a joke post, but thats because I'm actually thinking of having to do this.

    My tin-foil crowd friend told me they are going to be putting RFID tags into passports starting in Jan so "they" can track us anywhere in the world......

    I believe some countries already do something similar to this.

    They also last 10 years. $9 a year is cheap.

    I believe the requirement applies to flying to Canada and Mexico. You can still cross on ground transportation with a driver's license. However, on January 1, 2008, it'll be all passports. I think that's correct.

    Well, you can probably get out of the country just fine.

    It's the whole getting back into the country that can be hard.

    Hell, I even have taken to carrying my passport when I go to southern Texas just so I can wiz through those border checkpoints on the highways and back roads.

    It's getting a little fucking ridiculous.

    ^^Speaking of those south Tx border patrols, when I lived in Corpus Christi I went down to Mexico a few times. Border patrol always questioned ME a little more thoroughly than my mostly latin friends when we'd return - and I had a passport. One asshole in particular kept asking me stupid questions trying to trip me up Fucking tard. I guess he thought I was a coyote
