Question

I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU NEED A PASSPORT TO GO TO MEXICO OR PUERTO RICO???

Answer 1

You'll actually need it to get back into the states.

Answer 2

If you're flying into Mexico, you do need a passport. However, if you're driving into Mexico to Matamoros, you don't need a passport. It will be mandatory January 1, 2008 wether driving or flying into Mexico. I don't know what the requirements are for Puerto Rico.

Answer 3

If you are an American citizen you do NOT need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico or any other U.S. territory or possession.   You do need a passport to FLY to any international destination, including Mexico.  You will not be allowed on an international flight without a passport.  You may travel to Mexico or Canada by LAND without a passport for now.  Sometime between Jan. 2008 and June 2009, the requirement for a passport for land travel to and from Mexico and the U.S. and Canada and the U.S. wiil go into effect.  See 1st website below to read the law for yourself, and 2nd website for all passport info.

Answer 4

I don't know about the "OUT" direction, but sure as shooting you need one to get BACK! Returning from Puerto Rico, (A U.S. territory) does not require a passport. See the link for more information

Answer 5

As far as Puerto Rico you do not need a passport as it is a US territory.
