News, Bring more ID when crossing the borders.
If you’re planning a driving trip to Canada or Mexico, you’ll need to pack more identification in the New Year, thanks to a new U.S. law.
Starting Jan. 31, 2008, U.S. citizens — both adults and children — returning to the United States by land or sea from Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean must carry a document that shows their citizenship.

They're pushing for passports, but the regional offices are having a hard time catching up with the application processes. |

Last year there was a waiting period for ones passport. This past summer, I received my passport from the Maryland regional office in one weeks time. |

Yes, they will move them up, depending on the demand for leaving abroad or unless the extra money is paid to expedite. When Katrina hit, it knocked out one of the main branches for the southeast passport distribution centers. Tallahassee picked up the rush orders until New Orleans was back in business. |
