Do you need a Passport to visit Tijuana If you are a Us Citizen?

Question

Do you need a Passport to visit Tijuana If you are a Us Citizen?

Answer 1

Yes you will need a passport but not a visa, so enjoy your visit.

Answer 2

Unless you fly in (which I'm guessing you aren't), all you need is a government-issued ID (i.e. driver's license), and proof of citizenship (i.e. birth certificate).  

However, if you do have a passport, it would be much easier to use that.

Answer 3

You'll need one to come back.

You can probably work your way in without one, though.

Answer 8

I am an acceptance agent in Minnesota for the passport agency. Some people are giving you the right info, some are not. Here I will break it down for you...if you are flying into Mexico...yes you will need a passport, if you are driving or going by boat...you will not..then you would just need a birth certificate and a state id or drivers license. Here is a little more info that I give out at work...

AIR TRAVEL

Implemented on January 23, 2007, ALL PERSONS traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean region are required to present a passport or other valid travel document to enter or re-enter the United States.

LAND AND SEA TRAVEL

The following summarizes information available on the Department of Homeland Security’s website.

    * JANUARY 31, 2008

      U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI-compliant document, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.

    * LATER

      At a later date, to be determined, the departments will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have either a U.S. passport; a U.S. passport card; a trusted traveler card such as NEXUS, FAST, or SENTRI; a valid Merchant Mariner Document (MMD) when traveling in conjunction with official maritime business; or a valid U.S. Military identification card when traveling on official orders.

Note: The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory.

U.S. PASSPORT AND OTHER TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

    * U.S. Passport: U.S. citizens may present a valid U.S. passport when traveling via air, land or sea between the U.S. and the aforementioned Western Hemisphere countries.

    * The Passport Card: U.S. citizens may begin applying in advance for this new, limited-use, wallet-size passport card beginning February 1, 2008. We expect cards will be available and mailed to applicants in spring 2008. When available it will only be valid for land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region, and Bermuda.

    * Other Accepted Travel Documents: SENTRI, NEXUS, FAST and the U.S. Coast Guard Mariner Document.  Members of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty traveling on orders are exempt from the passport requirement. DHS has more information on these travel documents.  This information may be seen at www.dhs.gov.

Answer 9

No, but you need it to get back into the US.
