A hasty query: do I entail a passport or anything special to drive into Canada from USA to pick something up?
Answers: If you are a US citizen a government issued photo ID such as your driver's licence and your birth ticket to prove citizenship will do it.
EDIT
You do not need a passport. The deadline for that have again been changed, and the date presently is for summer, 2009.
No. A passport is still NOT required if you are driving into Canada.
Starting January 31st, 2008 it was made mandatory that some form of system issued picture ID and a document showing your nationality be provided to the customs agents at the port of entry.
No you don't obligation a passport when traveling by car (assuming you're a US citizen) but you are required to hold a driver's license as well as your birth card.You need a valid passport when traveling by plane.
It's my feelings you do need it immediately days. Two of my friends had a tough time returning to the US even over a couple of years ago. California ID be not sufficient and they were delayed several hours until that time they were competent to return.
did it last week next to my Driver's Licence and Canadian Citizenship card my partner she had her passport and within were no problems going to the states (just the usual question is your name Bin Laden and are you a terrorist).
Returning to Canada they didn't even look at our documents purely where you be and what did you purchase.
Yes as of a few weeks ago you now involve a passport to enter canada - a birth certificate will no longer suffice.
