Sure. Whenever you want to locate his device, simply initiate the Find My iPhone app, enter in his credentials and wait to see the location information.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Will I only need his Apple ID to track or password as well?

Also he won’t get a notification stating his appr ID is being tracked or anything...

You need his password as well.
He will only get a notification if you choose to do so.

Just get his phone and share his location with Find My Friends. No credentials needed.

However, I've found that honesty is the best policy.
