Just an FYI i figured i would throw out there.

My wife still has her maiden last name on her passport. So i figured I would call both the US and Canadian border control to see if its required to have her name changed to her current last name.

Canada does not require a passport to gain entry by LAND . by Air yes, they do require a passport. All that is required by land is a Birth Certificate and another form of ID(Drivers License) .

The U.S. however DOES require a passport by land AND Air. I questioned both Canadian and US border controls if my wifes maiden last name would be an issue and they said no, but to bring a marriage certificate *just in case*.

Some country's do require your current last name to be shown on your passport. So, give a call to the country's border control that your visiting before you send in your passport renewal forms (as it costs $75 to renew). If you have been married less than a year, Your passport renewal is free of charge.

Has anyone crossed the border from Ontario to New York over the Rainbow Bridge recently with just a Driver's License and birth certificate?

I know they now have specific documents you need but are they strictly enforced?

I'm hoping to go to the show in North Tonawanda tomorrow night but only have Driver's License and Birth Certificate.


Thanks
