Hello, i was just wondering where to go to get a birth certificate, my girlfriend lost hers, and shes gonna need it to cross the border

Any info would be appreciated thanks!

I thought after december you must have your Passport to get into the States. They are changing, if already haven't changed the law or something, I think.

i was reading an old thread that said, flying you will need a passport but driving is ok with dl and bc

i could be wrong

Yea I would actually look into it to be honest. Just don't take the chance you know. I mean I am not 100% sure, but from what I have been reading and hearing in the past, I think you will need passport over the road as well. But then again, I could be wrong as well. Like I said, I would look into it before actually going.

After Jan 23rd you need the passport to cross the border while flying, as I just got mine since i'll be heading down to florida in feb with the family... Not sure about driving, I heard you can get across with license/bc, but I'd deff get a passport anyways, as it's safer.

Also, you might wanna get one soon, as they are majorly backlogged from everyone trying to get one b4 the 23rd...

to get a birth certificate?

[Kritafo]

It depends. If she was born in Alberta then you can download the forms from the gov site.

http://governmentservices.gov.ab.ca/vs/births/certificates.cfm
gives both Alberta and non Alberta residence.

It does sometimes take longer. You can pay an additional fee for speedier service I believe, through Rush Services.

we went to the registry and got it for 30 bucks or something takes 2-3weeks to receive

on to the next question

can we cross the border with just a drivers license and birth certificate

I am pretty sure you need a birth certificate to get a passport, so she will have to do one before the other anyway.

You do need a birth certificate to get a passport. You need your birth certificate and another form of government issued ID (Drivers License works best).

You CAN enter the US until Jan 23 via air with a drivers license and a birth certificate. After Jan 23 the only way to enter into the US by air is with a valid passport. You can still return to Canada after Jan 23 with just a drivers license and birth certificate.

You can enter the US with a drivers license and birth certificate if you are driving into the US until Dec 31.2007. After that date you will be required to have a passport if you are driving into the US as well.

I got mine from the BC Government, took two weeks to get at a cost of $35

All depends on where you were born.

Ok I guess I got the years mixed up then. I knew they would be changing it after December just wasn't sure if 2006 or 07.

How about you look it up yourself? Hint: google works well

[jus_sum_guy]

It's true. You can use a DL/BC if you're driving across the border.

Don't know if it means anything to you, but being a travel agent I have to keep on top of these things, so I'm 100% sure....
