| Feb 5, 2018 at 19:18 | comment | added | phoog | @JimMacKenzie in any event, Washington does issue EDLs; the four other states that issue them are Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Vermont. But as you note that won't help here because the visa applicant is not a US citizen. | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 17:55 | comment | added | Jim MacKenzie | Does Washington have enhanced driver's licenses available? If so, obtain one, use that to cross the border, and freely leave the passport behind for processing. Alternatively, the US does allow you to carry two US passports simultaneously (Canada does not allow the equivalent). (EDITED: person in question is not a US national, so these options won't work.) | |
