only be required
to present proof

such as a birth
certificate.
-
U.S. citizens
can also apply
for a U.S.
Passport Card,
which
facilitates
entry and
expedites
document
processing at
U.S. land and
sea
ports-of-entry
when arriving
from Canada,
Mexico, the
Caribbean and
Bermuda. The
card may not be
used to travel
by air.
Otherwise, it
carries the
rights and
privileges of
the U.S.
passport book
and is
adjudicated to
the exact same
standards.
