Do I need a passport to go to Tijuana? Help!!?

Question

I need to go to TJ tommorow and I was wondering if anyone knows the new laws on crossing the border? Do I need a passport or will a birth certificate and ID suffice? It is kind of an emergency and I can't get my passport!!!

Answer 1

If you are walking or driving across you just need your driver's license. Starting January 31, 2008 you will need your passport. You need a passport if you're flying though.

Answer 2

Passports will not be needed for LAND travel to and from Mexico until a "later" date that has not yet been set but will be after next summer.  see site below for correct info.

Answer 3

No, not yet.  The gov't changed the date as the passport office is far behind.
