I am going to?Canada in August and I spoke with the Canadian Consulate and the US Passport Office...the problem is not in crossing into Canada without a Passport....it is coming back in...AMERICA REQUIRES that you have your passport to?RETURN to the US....you do not need it if you are going to Canada and NOT returning...VBG!

If you want to drive across the boarder without a passport, go ahead. At this point, I wouldn't try it.
