Question

Do I need a passport to travel to mexico by land in march?

Answer 1

Yes, this is new of about a year or two ago. Mexico and Canada now need passports.

Answer 2

the first two people are wrong.. I cross the border everyday and I don't need a passport to go INTO MEXICO. To get back into the US you need proof of citizship and identity (which a Passport will do) but if you don't have a passport then a combination of IDs will work, like state license plus birth certificate...

To go INTO mexico you need you birth crefiticate and ID so you can get your tourist visa, a passport works fine but if you don't have it don't worry,  the guy aboce me is right.

THE NEW RULES AFFECT YOUR ENTRANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, not Mexico.

Answer 3

If you want to travel to Mexico or Canada you need a passport at the border.

No.  If you FLY in and out you need one but currently if you enter by land or sea you need a government-issued photo ID and a certified copy of your birth certificate.
