Question

What US & Mexican immigration ask,when u enter Mexico from US. do u have to show them any id or birth cert.?

Answer 1

Most of the time the guy in the border booth is half asleep (or maybe even drunk).

Answer 2

No ID, no entry...And you need to show them a valid passport.

Answer 3

When I entered Mexico, they looked at my passport and gave me a tourist visa, which I kept all the time I was there. They took it when I left. I also carried my passport when I was driving there, even though I never went more than about 50 km from where I was staying.

It is always in your own best interest to have a passport when you enter any foreign country, whether it is needed or not, because you never know what kind of situations will arise there.

Answer 4

If you're traveling by land they probably won't even speak to you.  When I enter they just wave me on through at the border and if I didn't stop myself to get my visa stamped I would probably never be checked for anything.

Answer 5

To enter  Mexico and to re-enter the U.S. By LAND, you must have your birth certificate and a photo I.D. To FLY to and from Mexico, you must have a passport.  See site below to read the law for yourself.

Answer 6

Generally, when you ENTER Mexico they don't even bother to wave.  It's the trip BACK into the U.S. when things can get interesting.  Since you are going to need a passport to get back into the U.S. in less than a year... just have your passport ready and you should get along OK if they ask for any ID.
