Answer 1

You might be too late to get one in the time frame your looking for.  It took me 10 weeks to get mine.  Call your local post office because they have the information on passports. That's where I got mine.

Answer 2

It looks like mid year now. Just have all your IDs with you, if you are a citizen of the US, they can't keep you out of the country. It will just be a hassle. Get the passport, you've had plenty of time. The government was totally unprepared for the rush on passports.

Answer 3

Just take your passport and U.S. ID with you before you live for Mexico, if you are not an American born citizen take your green card too, or naturalization papers. Even if it's January, or February does it matter??  

There are temporary passport for three days, maybe look for that at city hall or ask the post office.

It's better to have too much than not enough. (Just be careful)

Better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 4

Get your passport, and guard it with your life. If your idenity is

stolen. You will be at the Embassy, when someone else is

crossing the border, for their new way of life. <}:-})

Answer 5

if you apply now you will have to wait like 6 months because the government is slow

Answer 6

January 8.  I hope you've applied because it's a long wait.  I have a feeling they are going to extend the date because of the backup with passports.

Answer 7

Jan. 8 is the winner!!!

Answer 8

You got all wrong answers so far.  The requirement for a passport for LAND travel to and from Mexico will not go into effect until later than summer 2008.  Sometime next summer a new announcement will be made about the exact date.  See website below and read the top half of the page carefully for the correct, CURRENT information.
