Question

Can someone please tell me they are absolutely positive you DO NOT need a passport to get back from Mexico?

Answer 1

You absolutely positively DO NOT need a passport to get back from Mexico if you are a US citizen or to get into Mexico. You do need a government issued id and a birth certificate. When you go into Mexico, you will get a tourist card. You should have that when you exit Mexico.



"In answer to a frequently asked question these days, no passport is needed to travel to Mexico in 2006. Beginning December 31, 2006, you will need a passport for air or sea travel and beginning December 31, 2007, you will need a passport for land travel to Mexico and Canada." Quoted from below.

Answer 2

Oh my goodness.....have you gone to the post office lately? (Which is where you can apply for them now.) The Caribean, and Mexico, via air or sea, started requiring a passport as of 1/1/06. By land, Canada and Mexico will required a passport by 1/1/07. The rest of the world, by 1/1/08.

Answer 3

No, a drivers license will do, or even a state ID. You do not need a passport. I've traveled to several parts of Mexico and have even gone through the border at Tijuana and been waved through without any ID.

Answer 4

State ID
