Answer 5

You could probably get into Mexico without a passport, but good luck getting back into the US!

They cost around $100 and take a month or two to get - but I heard that they were backed up, so it may take longer...

ps: Someone else already asked this question, and it was resolved... maybe next time you could try checking previous questions first?

Answer 6

No, 6-10 weeks for a  passport and about 100 dollars 200 for rush deliver which could be about 4weeks.

Answer 7

You need a passport for both ways if you apply now you may get it in a month.

Answer 8

Actually hun what you can do now if get a passport card that is a bit cheaper. Now that is only good if you are not flying into or out of Mexico.

Here is a link to find out more info about the card:

Answer 9

Answer 10

It depends, I went to Laredo about a year ago with my daughter (BIG MISTAKE, BTW), but we didn't need a passport or even a Visa, but then again we were just going on the other side of the border for a day...if you're going longer, I'd call the consulate and ask them to make sure.

Answer 11

You can also pay more money and have it expidited by going to an office in person.

Answer 12

If you go to your post office TODAY with about $200.00 you can get a passport USUALLY in about a month...

You pay $15.00 for the 2 official photos...

$69.00 for processing...

Um... A bit more for Expidited Service...

All in all it comes out to between $100.00 and $150.00.

You need a copy of your birth cert. and you can find the forms online to have them filled out before you go... That saves a LOT of time... Just Google "Passports" and make sure you are going to a .gov site and you will know it is real...

Don't use one of those companies that says they will "Do everything for you and get it in half the time".

They are a scam...

It takes like 4 pages of doc's filled out and a trip to the post office and you mail it all in and you are done...

You would end up paying them like, $50.00 to print out the official forms for you and drop it all in the mail.

Good luck!

Answer 13

they changed the law at the beginning of January everyone needs a passport to go to mexico...now it takes 3-4 weeks to get one. if I were you I'll get one quick!

Answer 14

you dont need a passport to drive/walk over the border. just say "american citizen"  I dont know about flying into Mexico. Me and my friends drive into Juarez all the time to go clubbing there. and I`m from New Mexico.

Answer 15

Passport needed.

Answer 16

No I don't think you can go there without a passport. March 29th. You might be able to go to some post offices and get a speedy passport but you might need to pay a little more to get it.

Answer 17

i have before. i dont think you need one

Answer 18

I think you can travel past mexico w/o a passport no problem.  However, you need your passport big time getting back across the border.  They need to make sure no illegal immigrants get across.  It takes about a month to 6 weeks to get a passport.

Answer 19

If you want to risk you chance of being caught. But I would recommend taking a passport. Its very important when travelling. It takes about a month to get a passport. Depends on the bussiness. Hope you have fun at Mexico!!! :D

Answer 20

you can go there but you wont be able to get back in to the usa so if you want to stay then sure go

Answer 21

I went to Guanajuato Mexico with my 6 month old daughter and lived there for 2 months. I took the bus there and flew back. Neither one of us needed a passport. Just a birth certificate for her and a birth certificate and my drivers license for myself. I've also been 2 more times since then. I drove there twice and came back on the bus both times. All I ever needed was  a birth certificate and my license. Have fun.

Answer 22

You MUST have a passport if you travel to/from Mexico by air or ship.

If you cross via automobile or on foot, you must have a government issued ID and a certified copy of birth certificate (or two forms of government issued ID like driver's license, military ID, etc).

It costs about $100 and takes several weeks or months. If you want it quicker (ie expedited) you will pay $200 and get it back in a shorter period of time.

Answer 23

Sure you can, but by bus not by plane. I hope this help.

Answer 24

Answer 25

i think if your under 19 all you need is some form of id. .

Answer 26

I don't think you can travel anywhere out of the country without one now a days. And it takes like 4-8 weeks or something I think? Ask your post office.

Answer 27

Passports are required to FLY to and from Mexico.  They are not YET needed to r=travel by LAND to MExico.  See 1st site below.  See 2nd site for passport application info...cost is $97.00, tkes 4 to 6 weeks.  Expediting costs $60.00 and express mail fees and takes 2 to 3 weeks.

Answer 28

no you can't.  you need your passport and if you're lucky you'll have it in 8months.  you can pay extra for a faster delivery but it will still take a few months before you get it.

Answer 29

no

Answer 31
