WNY Residents will need a passport starting Summer 2008 to go to Canada Heading over to Canada for Dinner from Western New York?

Not so fast, soon you will need a passport to cross the boarder. In Western New York we are comfortable crossing the boarder on a regular basis.  For many of us it is the next town over.  We never thinking twice about it, well now we soon will have to think about it with the new travel regulations that are set to go into place sometime in the Summer of 2008.  With that we will need a passport to head over to Canada.  There is more information regarding these regulations at the Department of Homeland Security's website.

So think ahead and get your passport application in now! There is a long wait for those passports, so you might as well get the application and apply now. It only takes a few moments of your time to process your passport. It takes weeks to get the passport in the mail. And as Summer approaches, more people will be applying for their passport. So do it now!

Hi Carl,

Thank you for the reminder--mine is going to expire in October.  Do you know if I need to send my old one in when I am getting a new one?

Leslie and Larry, just pick up a renewal application at your local passport office.   Fill it out, send a check, a new photo and your old passport with the application and you will get your new passport in 4-6 weeks.  Existing passports are easier to do as you do not have to do the personal interview.   Come to think of it, California, Arizona and Texas residents will have the same problem heading to Mexico.
