Crossing the border by foot from Tij-San isidro? License?

Question

Want to go to mexico in about a week and wanna go back before the first of Jan...my question is can i go back with just my license and is harder to cross back on foot and what questions do they ask u while trying to cross back....would they swipe my license throu a credit card device like passports?

Answer 1

I have never crossed there, but I have never heard of them chcking your license...it is strictly for identification.  you do not need to worry about needing a passport after Jan. 1 as that requirement has been pushed back to at least summer of 2008.  Good idea to have your birth certificte too...technically it is required although I see many people who say they just used their license.
