Passport needed to go to Mexico?
 

There's a new law requiring a passport to get into Canada, how about Mexico? I'm going to San Diego and want to hop on down to Tijuana if I don't need a passport.

yea, as of jan 23rd you will need to have a passport for both canada and mexico. However it sounds like you will be driving into mexico which i believe is ok. I think the passport law is only if you are flying into another country, pretty sure you just need a birth certificate and a few other forms of id to walk/drive into mexico or canada. i was just in mexico city(flew obviously) and had 0 problems with out a passport.

Ok, sounds good so far. Can anybody else confirm you can drive across the border without a passport?

Passport Requirements Are Changing: Air Travelers To and From U.S. Neighbors Will Soon Need Passports

Beginning January 23, 2007, all air travelers, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Bermuda will be required to travel with a valid passport, Air NEXUS card or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document. A similar requirement for land and sea travelers will not take effect until 2008. Complete details are posted on the Department of State's Web site. If you're traveling by air to one of the areas listed above and don't have a passport, now's the time to apply.

i believe this answers you good, I pulled it off my airports homepage. you should be ok as long as you go before 2008.

Jago, what in the hell would be your reasoning for wanting to go to a scum town like TJ? It's not cheap if they think you're an American with money (you won't be able to get around that), everybody is there to rip you off, and you have no rights whatsoever. If the police feel like robbing you, then you are robbed. It's not as rare as you might think, and mexico is a shithole. Just stay in SD.

IT's not bad, are you planning on just clubbing or what? You can easily have fun down there with less then $50 bucks. Although you do know that recently... policemen in TJ were stripped of their guns so all of the policemen in TJ quit. They were ordered back to work but it's very dangerious over there right now.

Don't go to TJ. Come to Pb in San diego :)
