Minnesotans will have to pack a passport for a trip to Canada starting this summer.
New document requirements for entering the United States by land or sea take effect June 1.
That means travelers will need a passport, passport card or special preapproved card from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Michigan, Vermont, New York and Washington state offer enhanced driver's licenses that can be used as border crossing documents, but Minnesota doesn't.
Customs and Border Protection is encouraging travelers to apply for passports or the other approved secure documents several weeks before they will need them, but says they won't be denied entry on June 1 if they don't have them.
Children under age 16 can get into the country with a birth certificate.
