Any Candians Who have driven to New York without a passport recently?

My bf wants to come to NY to visit, but he hasnt gotten his passport yet. Does anyone know what the border patrol or customs requires for ID and proof of citizenship? Is it possible?

Answer:
well apparently seems like the passports are taking a little bit longer since so many people are asking for them , so i went to the immigration website and found this information which may be helpful to u . this is one of the questions being asked in their website :

Will a citizen of Canada be permitted to travel within the Western Hemisphere with only a government-issued photo identification and a passport application receipt?

Since implementation, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has and will continue to exercise its current authorities in unique circumstances to allow individuals subject to the WHTI requirements into the U.S. based on other evidence of identity and citizenship.

however i want to point out that they are talking about air travel , still he should check about the status of his passport .
