Can I cross the US/Canadian border with a copy of my US passport?

Upvote:5

The short answer: NO

The long answer: To enter Canada from the USA as a US citizen you need to produce the actual passport or an enhanced drivers license or a standard drivers license plus birth certificate.

The return to the USA you need your passport or enhanced drivers license.

Photocopies of passports are not legal documents for crossing a border, as they could be easily forged.

Florida does not issue an enhanced drivers license yet, even though they do now require you to prove yourself to be a legal resident of the states.

You are pretty much limited to viewing the falls from the US side.
