Virtually all air travelers entering the United States beginning January 23 will need to show passports, even US citizens, the Homeland Security Department announced.
Until now, US citizens, travelers from Canada and Bermuda and some travelers from Mexico who have special border-crossing cards for frequent visitors were allowed to show other proofs of identification, such as drivers' licenses or birth certificates.
