You may very well get turned away at the boarder.

You can get a renewal in 24 hours if you go to the passport office. It costs an extra $60 to rush it. I guess it depends how badly you want to go down and how much of a pain in the ass it would be if you tried and got turned away.

Do note. If you do get turned away for any reason at all, the boarder guard can also flag this on your file, increasing your chances of future ID checks and searches.

I got stopped once when I was trying to take my daughter down. I have complete custody of her so I don't need anyone's permission to take her any where but I didn't have the paper work to say so. Now every friggen time I try and take her across I'm asked for it to the point where I gave up and got her a passport (even though you don't need one if you're under 21).
