More on new passport requirements at PokerPulse.com legal forum. To wit:
A law that takes effect Tuesday requiring Mexicans, Canadians, Bermudans and U.S. citizens flying into the United States to have passports is leading to some confusion and long lines at consulates.
The new requirement affects travelers who were previously able to use birth certificates or other documents to enter the country. The regulation was recommended by the 9/11 Commission and mandated by Congress with the intent of ensuring the country's safety...Canadian consulates are seeing an increase in applications from people seeking passports as ''snowbirds,'' the approximately 70,000 Canadians who spend winter in the United States. Mexican consulate officials are also struggling to meet demand for passport applications, which in some locations are three times higher than usual...The only valid alternatives to the passport will be a NEXUS Air card, used by some American and Canadian frequent fliers; a document used by U.S. merchant mariners; and the ''green card'' carried by legal permanent residents. Active members of the U.S. Armed Forces are also excluded.
...The next step in increasing border safety -- expected as early as January, 2008 -- will require travelers entering by land or sea to hold valid passports. That rule would affect many more people as nearly three times as many travelers come into the United States by land or sea as do by air.
