Special Edition Orb & Owl: IMPORTANT: U.S./Canada Border Crossing Information
Greetings all! Today we bring you a Special May Edition of Prophecy's newsletter, the Orb & Owl: Bringing you tomorrow's news today!
IMPORTANT: U.S./Canada Border Crossing Information
We want to share critically important information with Prophecy guests who are traveling between the U.S. and Canada. We urge all Prophecy guests who live in the U.S. to carefully read the following travel requirements in full. Especially if you are under the age of 18 and will be traveling between the U.S. and Canada without your parents, note that there is special additional documentation described below that you must provide when crossing the U.S.- Canadian border.
The following identification requirements apply to all Prophecy guests traveling between the U.S. and Canada:
Requirements for travel by air: A valid, current U.S. passport. As of January 23, 2007, no other proof of citizenship is acceptable when traveling by air between the U.S. and Canada.
Requirements for travel by land (i.e., by car, train, bus, and so forth): Photo identification, such as a current, valid driver's license AND proof of U.S. citizenship, such as your U.S. passport or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. A driver's license, voter's registration card or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship. If used, a birth certificate must be certified and not a photocopy. For further help on obtaining a certified birth certificate, please visit here.
IMPORTANT: The following additional requirements apply to all Prophecy guests under the age of 18 traveling between the U.S. and Canada without a parent:
According to the U.S. State Department: "Due to international concern over child abduction, single parents, grandparents, or guardians traveling with children often need proof of custody or notarized letters from the other parent authorizing travel. (This is in addition to proof of citizenship as explained above.) Any person under the age of 18 and traveling alone should carry a letter from his/her parent or guardian authorizing the trip. Travelers without such documentation may experience delays at the port of entry."
A form letter to help provide the needed authorization mentioned above can be found here. This form letter will only be acceptable if it is completed in full and notarized. Note that this border crossing letter for minors is not the same as the parental permission form needed to gain entry to Prophecy. The permission form for attending Prophecy will not satisfy the government requirements for crossing the U.S.-Canadian border.
For complete information, please refer to the U.S. State Department's Tips for Travelers to Canada, which can be read in full at the official State Department website.
For any additional questions, please contact Prophecy Registration so that we can help direct you to the correct government information and requirements.
