Lost Passport/Border Crossing?
My boyfriend lost his passport but has an appointment this week to get his replacement in process. We want to head to my place below Rosarito for the
4th of July weekend.
Does anyone have any recent information on how easy or difficult it might be for him to get back into the U.S.? He will have replacement application
receipt, birth certificate, photo I.D. etc.
Told him he better get his passport replaced soon or I might have to replace him.
Happy 4th everyone!

People cross with only a CA license all the time. US cannot refuse Americans. You would be wise to take a copy of the lost passport application
along to prove the validity of the story.

Attitude is everything. Have your BF grovel and be apologetic. You can watch.

You will have zero problems.
Unless he looks like a banger

Thanks everyone. I will be waving to him as I go through Sentri.
Next step to get his Sentri Pass. Still waiting for that reduced fee for Sentri App's to come into effect.

You got Sentri, and he's got no passport. Precious.
That said, what was posted above is correct. A little hassle, a lecture, but as long as your BF has some valid ID especially a photo ID, he'll pass
rather quickly.

Clean him up. Shave, haircut, bath etc..and ...what?? you don't have a color copy of the lost passport? Along with extra photos? I guess he doesn't
get around much.

We've had many visitors to our house in San Felipe.....a handful of Europeans (no Vikings). Never a issue.
