Do I Need a Passport to Get to Alaska?

U.S. citizens flying between another state and Alaska do not need a passport. However, those driving through Canada or traveling on a ferry or cruise ship with stops in Canada are required to carry one. All non U.S. citizens will need a passport and possibly other documents to enter. As with all travel, check with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Transportation Security Administration as you plan your trip.
