On June 1, 2009, travelers will need to present a valid, acceptable document that denotes both identity and citizenship when entering the U.S. by land or sea. Most travelers will be able to select from one of six documentation options. Many U.S. and Canadian travelers already have a passport or another WHTI-compliant document. WHTI is the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), a joint Department of State and Department of Homeland Security plan that implements a 9/11 Commission recommendation to establish document requirements for travelers entering the United States who were previously exempt, including citizens of the U.S., Canada and Bermuda.

WHTI was implemented for air travelers in January 2007. In addition to a passport, there are several other documents that CBP will accept at land and sea ports of entry from U.S. and Canadian citizens coming from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean. These include the new U.S. Passport Card, new state/province-issued enhanced drivers licenses, and the three CBP trusted traveler program cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, and FAST). All these documents utilize radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. Among the U.S. passport or the five RFID-enabled cards, travelers can select the documentation option that best fits their needs. For more information, visit www.GetYouHome.gov.
