Hello : I found this and I think it is correct.

Do I or don%26#39;t I need a passport to travel into Canada by car?

I%26#39;ve heard different things from travel agents.

A: You can still enter Canada or Mexico by car using only your driver%26#39;s license.

And Congress took action June 15 to delay any such passport requirement for drivers until June 2009.

Passports already had been required for air travel to those countries (as well as Bermuda and the Caribbean), but that rule has just been relaxed.

On June 8, the U.S. State Department and Homeland Security announced that, because of a backlog of passport applications that has delayed processing times, U.S. citizens may fly to those destinations with a government-issued photo I.D. and proof of application for a passport.

The temporary change is in effect until Sept. 30, and those travelers will receive additional security screening.
