Question

When does the Passport o go too mexico take affect ????

Answer 1

If you are traveling by air to Mexico, the passport requirement took effect on January 23, 2007.  The first answer to this question, however, is not correct.  The January 1 requirement for land/sea travelers to show a passport was delayed; however, effective January 31, all passengers will be required to show a birth certificate and a government-issued ID until the passport requirement goes into effect.

The new date for full implementation of the passports-only rule for land and sea travel has not yet been established, according to the US State Department (the second link below).

Answer 2

as of january 1, 2008 anyone either flying, driving, or walking accross the border needs a passport....no questions asked. Before 2008 you only needed a passport if you were going to fly to mexico, but not for driving.
