Do I Need a passport to go to Rocky Point, Mexico on August 5, 2008?

Question

need to know a.s.a.p.

Answer 1

no you dont

Answer 2

From the department of homeland security website it says as of February 2008 you need a birth certificate (or some other proof of citenship). A driver's license is not considered adequate documentation anymore. In the future, some states will increase their requirement for drivers licenses so that you need to prove citizinship. After that point, the drivers license will be adequate.

   I would apply for a passport anyway. It may not come in time, but you might as well avoid the rush next year. You will need passports as of June 2009 anyway, so there is no point in not applying for one.
