U.S. Plans Temporary Waiver of Passport Policy*
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 06.08.07 | 8:42 AM ET
Travelers frustrated with the United States government’s glacial pace in processing passport applications may be getting a reprieve. Various reports this morning say the policy requiring all U.S. citizens to show passports when flying to Canada and Mexico will be suspended through September 30 while the government tries to catch up on paperwork. Travelers without passports will instead need to show another form of government-issued identification, and perhaps be subject to more scrutiny by border-security agents.
Update, 1:56 p.m. ET, June 11 : It’s official. The government made the announcement Friday.
