What are the travel required for travel in the Western Hemisphere?
border security in the Western Hemisphere is about to become much more difficult. The Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) will be held June 1, 2009, but countries that are considering a trip, and the United States, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean, most asked not to wait until then to update their travel documents.
airline passengers have become accustomed to playing and has a full passport for international travel. This new initiative will be felt by the passengers upon their returnHome and committed to the appropriate documentation should be allowed to return to the country.
Even with air transport to and from Canada and the United States has long been all that he needed a birth certificate and driver's license. Not long travelers are not crossing or return to Canada on foot or by train or car stopped in places.
From 1 June, the passport is full of travel preferred by all participating countriesInitiative. Travel documents will be needed regardless of the type of transport, air, car, train and boat travelers pedestrians should be undertaken with everyone. Ironically, people who are American, the borders of Canada and Mexico in general, most often not in full passports.
After 9 / 11, security at all borders of the United States has hardened and congestion has become critical in several key border crossing points, Mexican and Canadian borders, includingif traffic from the United States, North and South has been greatly reduced. In 2000, 90 million people traveled by car from the U.S. and Canada 240 million from Mexico. In 2007, numbers 58 and 165 million dollars, or even the time of colonization has increased significantly because many people do not have the appropriate forms of identification.
From June 1 to U.S. citizens seeking to enter the country after attending one of 19 other countries participating in the newInitiative, should complete a passport, a passport or travel document of the Department of Homeland Security has approved to enter the country. Some of these "documents" includes a trusted traveler program card such as a NEXUS (Northern Boarder Program) a Sentra (southern boundary), paper, or the FAST (Free and Secure Trade program). Military ID and travel documents, driver license advanced Merchant Mariner Documents and North American tribal documentsare also acceptable.
The new passport issued by the State Department issued could be enough if all you plan to travel to countries of the WHTI. You have 10 years for adults and children five years and half the cost of normal, full passports, but are not valid for international air transport.
We currently have four states - Arizona, New York, Vermont and Washington has begun - a license for the former driver for people who frequently cross the border. Mapsare similar to automated fare cards. All passengers in a vehicle with a dedicated lane at the border and have the cards to be read by a reader by the driver of the car.
Whatever type of document you think you might need for your next trip to the region of the WHTI, the U.S. State Department warns people not to travel long before the coming months. They say travelers should expect to take several weeks to obtain a passportif everyone catches up to new demands.
