So I was supposed to get my passport today, according to the Passport Agency, but I didn't get it. I tried calling the Agency but they don't work on weekends.

So I tried calling the airline to ask if I could travel to Mexico without a passport, but with a birth certificate and photo I.D., but the guy with the foreign accent couldn't answer my question and just told me to check online. I asked if he could refer me to somewhere where they could have the information, he just said he didn't know.

So anyway... since I'm traveling from the U.S. into a border city in Mexico by bus, [then taking a plane to go further south in Mexico] I also called the bus company if there was an alternative to the passport, he didn't know, told me to search the internet, but then transfered me to someone else.

It's so frustrating since no one seems to know and just tells me to search the internet. =\ I have searched but I can't find any info anywhere.

  1. I think you need a passport, you should not have waited till the last minute. Good luck!


  2. A guy I work with just came from a cruise to Mexico. I asked him the very same question. He said, no not yet. Birth certificate and ID is okay for now.

  3. I'm planning to go to Cancun next summer so I researched Cancun...I don't know where you're going but I just did Cancun since I'm going there next summer...

    ****Please note that since January 8th 2007 all US citizens will need a passport for their Cancun visit. A drivers license and birth certificate are no longer valid forms of identification for a visit to Mexico when travelling by air. If you arrive at your departure airport without one you will not be allowed to board.
