Oral Declarations No Longer Satisfactory as Evidence of Citizenship and Identity

Fri, Dec 21 2007 11:00:00 GMT

U.S., Canadian and Bermudian citizens entering the United States at land or sea portsofentry must establish their identity and citizenship to the satisfaction of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer. Under current CBP procedures, such individuals may provide any proof of identity and citizenship. While most individuals provide documentary evidence of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, individuals may, depending on the circumstances, be admitted on an oral declaration. Accordingly, CBP is amending its field guidance procedures to instruct CBP officers that citizenship ordinarily may not be established using only an oral declaration.

This Notice informs the public that, effective January 31, 2008, all travelers will be expected to present documents proving citizenship, such as a birth certificate, and governmentissued documents proving identity, such as a driver's license, when entering the United States through land and sea ports of entry.
