Has anyone that has gone across the border lately been asked for a passport? I am scheduled to go to canada on the 28th of this month and return on the 6th of june, and I don't have a passport yet.

I am starting to wonder what to do. By the way this is going through Windsor/detroit area.

I would try and see if you can get a rush put on a passport. I haven't heard but it seems as though they are going to require you to have one for the way home. I haven't heard anything about them pushing this deadline back like so many of the other ones they set.
I sent for a passport for myself and my son and they returned to us in a bout three weeks. I noticed there is a way to rush a passport through but didn't pay much attention to it. That may be an option for you.

Good luck,
TonyO

Here in New York you can go to dept of motor vehicle and get the enhanced drivers license in one day. You could check into that in your state and see if they have it

It isn't getting into Canada that is the problem, it's getting back into the US. I was in Toronto a few weeks ago, drove across the border at Niagara, the Candadian customs didn't even ask for my drivers liscense, much less a passport (that has never happened when I've crossed at International Falls). When I was coming back into the states the agent asked for my passport.
