Passport requirments for Mexico?

Question

Hello,

I have a green card (US Permanent Resident Card) and want to DRIVE to Tijuana.

I know that you need a US Passport or, in my case (holding a green card), a US Travel Document when you FLY to any city in Mexico. But do I need a passport when I DRIVE to Mexico, or is my Green Card enough?

Answer 1

Bring both just in case.

Answer 2

You DONT need your passport to get INTO Mexico.

Yet, you might need citizenship proof to get back to the states. If you are planning to drive to TJ, i would advise to take your drivers licence and your green card at least.

cheers.

Answer 3

You should be finde with your US drivers license & your green card.  the passport is only required when flying into the US from a foreign contry.  If you only have your drivers license, you might get a warning to bring your passport next time.  Just remember if your driving to mexico - mexican auto insurance is required
