The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers
to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a
passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the
United States. In order to facilitate the implementation of this
requirement, the Administration is proposing to complete it in
phases following a proposed timeline, which will be published in the
Federal Register in the near future.
In the proposed implementation plan, which is subject to a period of
initial public comment, the Initiative will be rolled out in phases,
providing as much advance notice as possible to the affected public
to enable them to meet the terms of the new guidelines. The proposed
timeline will be as follows:
-
January
23, 2007 - Requirement applied
to all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and
South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
-
June 1,
2009 - Requirement extended
to all land border crossings as well as air and sea travel.

This is a
change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United
States citizens entering the United States from countries within the
Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports.
This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who
currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the
United States. Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British
Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican
citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement.
