This new requirement includes Canadians and others who have previously been exempt from having to carry a passport.
Sea Cruise There is now no need to have a passport while taking a cruise. The new requirement for a passport or other secure travel document will be enforced for the Western Hemisphere travel into the U.S. by cruise ship at some point prior to June 1, 2009. No exact date is set, but the "sea" or cruise deadline will be identical to the land border travel date for implementation. By law, cruise travelers will also have the option of utilizing the PASS (People Access Security Service) card under development by the U.S. State Department. This is a low-cost, credit card sized traditional book style passport.
Land Border Travel Like the cruise deadline, the new land border travel deadline will be enforced at some point prior to June 1, 2009, but not exact date is set. Travelers will have the option of utilizing a traditional passport or the PASS card for entry into the United States.
