I have two children whose passports have expired ...

I have two children whose passports have expired and our family is traveling to Canada next week. The passports expired a year ago. I forgot that children's passports are valid for only 5 years. Can I still travel to and back from Canada with expired passports for the kids? If not, how soon can I get their renewals processed and what do I need to do?

A healthy relationship starts with trust and honesty and a big warm genuine smile.
 

You cannot travel with expired passports. Go to your local county office store and find out what the procedure is for expediting a renewal of your kids' passports.

Here's the answer according to the State Department:

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html

ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS:  Entry into Canada is solely determined by Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials in accordance with Canadian law . Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry both proof of citizenship and proof of identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card or NEXUS card (see below) satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. If U.S. citizen travelers to Canada do not have a passport, passport card or approved alternate document such as a NEXUS card, they must show a government-issued photo ID (e.g. Driver’s License) and proof of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or expired U.S. passport. Children under sixteen need only present proof of U.S. citizenship.

 

So basically children only need proof US citizenship, and expired passports count as valid id's.

 

Cheers.
