Question

Do you need a passport to travel in and out of tijuana?

Answer 1

These days you need a passport anytime you leave the country. I went down there 4-5 years ago without any ID (stupid risk) and everything worked out fine. But with all the security issues today, you can't even travel to Canada without one.

Answer 2

Currently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers may accept oral declarations of citizenship from U.S. and Canadian citizens seeking entry into the United States through a land or sea border.

So as long as you take a ship or drive, you are fine. You would not be allow to FLY back from Mexico without a passport.

Congress is trying to pass a bill that will allow you to travel to Mexico or Canada without a passport until mid 2009.

Answer 3

When the final portion of the Western hemisphere travel Initiative (WHTI) is implemented in January 2008, any time to leave the country by ANY MEANS WHATSOEVER, you need a passport
