Need Passport to go to TJ??

[msvanessa143]

Hi There,

I am getting banded on 02/21/06. I am very excited and am working out all the kinks as we speak. My research proves that a passport is NOT required to travel to Mexico but may be in the future. However, many sites claim that a passport is highly recommended. Would a birth certificate and a drivers liscence be sufficient??

Hoping to get some input from past/frequent travelers.

THANK YOU!

Hi,

I was just there and my father in-law does a lot of travel out of the states. They have made a law that starting in Jan of 07 a pasport will be required. I was there 2 weeks ago and a photo id and birth certificate will be just fine. in fact all they looked at was my drivers licence. I hope this has helped you!!

good luck to you!!

Hello - I just went this past weekend and brough birth cert and license - they guy just waived us through! However, everyone is correct - license is suffiicient for this year.

If you want souveniers, silver, leather etc. take a taxi to the revolution. If you want regular shopping go to the mall about three blocks away.

Yep, that should be fine, however a passport is ALWAYS the best option. Plus, your going to need it anyway come 12/06!!

Don't forget comfy elastic waist pants and maybe a book to read. They have TV at the surgery center but there wasn't anything good on.

Congrats and good luck!
