What Identification do I need to pass Customs?

However, if they do not have a passport a government issued photo ID (i.e. Drivers License) along with a birth certificate is required. All other citizenships will need to have a passport and if required, entry visa. For more detailed information, contact the Consulate General of the country you are entering.

What information do I need to bring a child to another country?

In order to bring a child into another country without both parents accompanying the child, you must present a birth certificate and a notarized letter that is signed by both parents. Letters must include dates of travel and with whom the child will be traveling with. If in the case of a deceased parent an original death certificate must be presented.
