Crossing the United States/Canada Border Into Montana
Our friends to the north: Montana and Canada share 13 active border crossings in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. For information on individual border crossings, like border wait times between Montana and Canada—along with each port's hours of operation— visit cbp.gov.
When crossing the border, a current passport is required for all travelers. If you are crossing the border with minors, be sure to have notarized travel permission letters from their parents or legal guardians. If you are traveling solo with your children, be sure to bring a note of permission from the other parent. United States citizens under the age of 16 may use their birth certificate or naturalization certificate for travel between the United States and Canada.
