If i want to take my two chidren with me to MExico do i need passorts for them ?

Question

or will my passport and their birth certificates be enough ? by the way they are 3 and 5 if that helps.

Answer 1

Yes. If you're in the United States you'll need passports. If you're taking the children out of the country by yourself, you'll also need to get a waiver signed by their father and witnessed by a third party in order to take them out of the country.

What the person below said is patently false. Please see the state department's rules for minors under 16: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/min...

Answer 2

you will need passports for everyone.  the 3 year old MIGHT be able to be put on as an addition to your passport if you are in Canada, (you didn't specify).  However, they will need some sort of passport.

Answer 3

No you do not need passports.  passports are not required by land travel until 2009   Travel Agents have no idea what they are talking about .

Answer 4

Yes you need passorts for them.

Answer 5

This varies from the country u are from. In the U.S you will need their passports  for each of them. In addition if your traveling by yourself with them then you will need a notarized letter from your spouse acknowledging that the children are leaving with you and with his consent.

Answer 6

yes of course

Answer 7

no you shouldn't. but you will need their birth certificates to show you are their legal guardian. when i last went to mexico it was when i was under 18 and all i needed was to show that my mom was really my mom.

the best person to ask would be someone at your town's city hall or court house. they will know.
