Do I need a passport to enter Mexico?

Question

I have to leave for Mexico immediately. I have already turned in my application for a passport, but even with the expedited fee, it will take 15 days. Can I leave and enter Mexico without a passport and have it sent to me after; I know I need one to get back into the US.

Answer 1

yes you do

Answer 2

Mexico-US has very tight security. It's extremely probable that you need a passport. I would check with the place you got it from.

Answer 3

If you are flying, you will not be allowed on the plane without a passport.  if you are travel ling by land, all you ned is your birth certificate and photo i.d.

Answer 4

It all depends on how you enter, technically they'll want it for all entries, but by air is the toughest.  

Answer 5

Answer 6

You only need a passport if you will be flying! if you go by land or sea you dont need a passport until June of 2009.  

Answer 7

If you cross the border walking, you can. But its difficult by car, and impossible by plane
