Do you have enhanced driver licenses in Maine? They were considering it back when I did the research for one of our other rallies.
You can get into Canada with one and they are cheaper than a passport.
Somewhere on here there is a write up on the research I did on the subject.
Found it, here is a copy and paste.


US Citizens entering Canada info
Any one entering Canada for our North East US / Eastern Canada Regional rally will need one of the following documents. Without it you will not be allowed to cross the border into Canada from the United States.

The following documents may be satisfactory evidence of United States (U.S.) citizenship:

  • A valid U.S. passport, U.S. passport card, or a Certificate of Citizenship and Naturalization are considered primary evidence and are acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship.
  • The Enhanced Drivers License (EDL) and Enhanced Identification Card (EIC) (non-drivers) are alternative travel documents denoting the holder's identity and citizenship and are acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship when entering from the U.S. through land and marine ports of entry only.
  • An original U.S. birth certificate, when accompanied by a valid government issued photo identification document, is considered an indicator and may be an acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship.


A passport is the preferred document but an Enhanced Drivers License is cheaper to obtain.

HOWEVER, there are only 5 states now offering Enhanced Drivers Licenses,

  • Michigan
  • New York
  • Washington
  • Vermont
  • Connecticut
States considering implementing an Enhanced Driver Licenses include:


  • Arizona
  • Idaho
  • Maine
  • Minnesota
  • New Hampshire
  • New Mexico
  • North Dakota
  • Texas


I would suggest reading this webpage for more info.

You should also be aware that no firearms are allowed to be taken in to Canada.
If you normally carry, you will have to leave your weapon home.
