There's 3! Depending on where in Canada you want to go. Just confirmed with a fellow HBer that just drove from NY to Canada by land. You only need a birth certificate up until they're 14 if you are going by land. Her son was 1 at the time. :)</p> <p>P.S. check your wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-passport-question-for-toddlers#post-908193 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:49:46 +0000 Mrsbells 908193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: if we did go, we would go through new york, is there more than one border in new york?<br /> @Rubies: @plantains: Thanks guys. I thought as much but my friend is pretty adamant that only a birth certificate is required </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-passport-question-for-toddlers#post-908189 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:47:29 +0000 plantains 908189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You need a passport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-passport-question-for-toddlers#post-908185 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:46:56 +0000 Rubies 908185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Canadian and I know that if I go to the US, my toddler needs a passport and a birth cert no longer is sufficient. This is a new-ish policy (at least 2-3 years)...I'm also pretty sure it's the same for US coming into Canada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-passport-question-for-toddlers#post-908184 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:46:35 +0000 regberadaisy 908184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not since she turned 1 but believe so.<br /> @Mrsbells: which border are you driving through??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-passport-question-for-toddlers#post-908174 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:40:44 +0000 Mrsbells 908174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have any of you driven to canada with a toddler? Did they need a passport? A friend told me that all I need is a birth certificate. Is that true? </p>
