I hate to harp on this but…
As you may be aware, the US has legislated passports for land travel into the US as of June 1, 2009. This means a passport is needed to return home to the US even if you are a US citizen.
A passport is confirmation of citizenship and does not authorize travel if you have a criminal record. A felony or misdemeanor may prevent travel across the border. Anyone that has been arrested, fingerprinted or convicted of a criminal offence should contact the folks below to determine eligibility
Please ensure that you begin the paperwork well in advance to avoid delays or being denied entry.
For assistance with obtaining permission to cross the border, please contact Lucy Perillo at:
