It is my understanding that we need a certified copy of our birth certificate, along with a drivers license to go into Canada, we have one couple in our group that wants to use just a copy of their birth certificate (not certified), I have advised against it but told her I'd post the question. Can anyone help?

Birth certificates do need to be certified - with the raised seal. I have a friend who wanted to go to Toronto a couple of years ago and was turned away at the border because she only had a photocopy.

I just returned from Ketchikan. I drove up - needed a passport or a certified copy of my birth certificate to cross the border between Washington State and British Columbia. I tried using my Alaska driver's license - but it was "no go"!

In past years, all that was needed was picture ID.

Assume you will MORE than less. America has gone crazy. We feel that requiring a "raised seal" on a birth certificate will make us safer which leads us to the most dangerous saying in the country "Better Safe Than Sorry". What is scary is that people REALLY believe it when they say that.

The reality is that bad guys can not only find a birth certificate with a "raised seal", but they also get fake passports just as easy.

Such a shame that we give up freedoms for NOTHING.
