OH Canada

  I know there is much knowledge on this forum. I have been hearing that the new compliant license like my state has can be used for travel into Canada. When I get online to investigate I come up with conflicting information. Does anyone here have any knowledge/ experience with this?

Humm, from what I’ve read, it seems you would not be able to fly into Canada but possibly could drive in. If it were me, and for what it takes, I’d just get a passport and not be caught off guard. Interesting though and maybe someone else here can enlighten us.

Q: Can I use my REAL ID card to cross the border into Canada and Mexico and for international travel?

No.  REAL ID cards cannot be used for border crossings into Canada, Mexico or other international travel.

So yeah, get a passport. (And if you're jumping through the hoops to get a passport, I'd recommend paying the extra money to get the passport book AND the card. I keep the card in my wallet so I've always got a 2nd form of government photo ID on me.)
