You didn't use to need a passport at all to go to Mexico....

great info jose!! thanks a million!✊

Glad you enjoyed it!

I am an American citizen who lives in Juarez Mexico & walking or driving across the border either way you don't need a passport. The only thing that you need to enter Mexico is 50 cents or 10 pesos I am as white as you can get & not once have I had a single problem other than getting searched a couple of times coming into the United States which is totally understandable. I cross back & forth 3X a month for over a year now.

I have problem enough getting my ID settled in the USA and I was born here. I let my DL expire during the COVID closures and now I need my Birth Certificate in order to get my ID back. But I need an ID in order to get a copy of my Birth Certificate as I never needed a copy of it before. Catch-22! So I can't get a bank account or rent a car or even rent a motel room. I am living that NOW in my home country because of this bureaucratic BS. So needless to say I can't get a Passport either. DOn't know what I can do other than just do it the illegal way.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Wow sounds horrible! Wish you can find a solution. I'm sure there is a way to get all this resolved. Good luck with everything tho! Thanks for sharing!

[@RichardHarlos]

Michael, I wonder if this will be helpful to you: www.usa.gov/birth-certificate

[@PsychicMikeTarot]

@@RichardHarlos thank you, but I already checked that site. I have called the office and they told me I need to either go into the office of the county I was born (Long Trip) or I need to sign a statement attesting to my ID, but it must be witnessed by a notary and notaries require an ID in order to notarize something! That is the Catch-22, the notary requirement. I will just have to go into the county records office in person. About 800 miles round trip.

[@Ben-zr4ho]

Also the problem your referencing shouldn't be a problem. Your driver license or state ID number hasn't changed. Even if your license or ID expired. The DMV should be able to help you out.

[@vivochi6396]

With a Canadian refugee travel document, can I purchase a ticket to Mexico for vacation without a visa? And be hassle free coming back to Canada as well?

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

If you have a Canadian passport you will automatically get visa free entry into Mexico and will just get a stamp on your passport which acts as your tourist visa

What if I’m in Mexico on vacation and notice that my passport has expired. Can I fly back (to Tijuana) or do I have to drive back to the US boarder?

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

I think you might have to go to the US Consulate and get an emergency passport

[@ibinanonym7687]

Domestic flights Within Mexico should not be a problem, unless you cross borders.

great video! I have a question after crossing into Mexico an a US citizen without a passport can I continue without a passport to my parents home country Nicaragua by land as well? what would be the best form of travel for a US citizen to leave Mexico heading to Nicaragua? end goal is to arrive at Nicaragua

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Correct you will need a Passport to enter Any other country including Nicaragua.

Im trying to go to Monterrey for a Concert in July. Me and my friend are planning on driving to Tijuana and fly from Tijuana to Monterrey. I have a California Identification card but I don't have a passport. My family who is, basically there all the time, they told me I am fine with only my Identification card. I just wanted to ask will I be okay or should I get a passport?

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

If you are Mexican and have your Mexican ID your INE then yes that is enough. But if you are a foreigner then you need a passport. An American Drivers License does not mean anything here and it is not a form of ID. Therefore you can not fly without your passport. I myself have permanent residency i Mexico and still have to show my passport when flying, my wife who is Mexican only has to show her INE her Mexican ID.

[@kdiaz93]

Can I go through Mexican borders without a passport? I am flying to San Diego and crossing through transportation. I applied for a passport and hasn’t came yet. My trip is in two weeks

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Depends. If you have a passport card you can use that. Also in some areas you can cross with just your license since you can't really get far without a passport they allow you in assuming you will come back

[@Badeau68]

Same question flying into San Diego de Tijuana for weight loss surgery I don't have time to wait on a passport

[@theloveablebritbrat5525]

I’m driving into Mexico for a small procedure and I was told I can take my ID and birth certificate is that true or ok ?

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

As I said in the video and showed on the map there are areas you can go and be in Mexico without a passport. But it wont get you far and is only for certain areas. At the end of the day you need a passport. Your US issued ID and Birth Certificate mean nothing here in Mexico. You should do more research first before going blindly into Mexico to avoid any Legal issues.

Hey jose, I have applied for my passport but theirs still about 7 weeks until I receive it. I want to take a trip for about a week and half but I’m not sure if I will be able to fly without my passport. My family has said that I should travel out to tj and fly from tj too queretaro. I’m not sure if they will ask me for a passport or anything. Also I am a minor, I would be traveling with my aunt and uncle.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Yes you need a Passport to board a plane leaving the US and Going to Mexico. You also need a Passport to fly within Mexico. That is the only form of acceptable ID for you in Mexico so if you plan to fly or enter Mexico you need a Passport.

[@karinazamora1283]

For next time, contact the department of state and tell them you need an expedited passport, with proof they can get it for you in less than 10 business days.

I got a Lotta questions relating to the passport itself what would cause you to be denied a passport other than committing a murder lol. I’ve never tried to get a passport because I’m bilingual I have my birth certificate. I have my ID but I’d like to be safe, I’m sure so I do have questions for you. If you could please get back to me I’ll be more than happy to ask them and hopefully you can give me some insight on it.

What you need to get once in Mexico is your INE which is your Official Mexican ID. The passport is mainly just for traveling

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Yes you should be able to

[@armindagracia5857]

Yes you can, if you take the bus one of those bus from Mexico because they don't stop and tell people or asked people to get a permission to enter the country, the reason is because everyone the take the bus, the bus driver think they are Mexican, but if for some reason the bus gets stop by immigration then you may get arrested, so is not a good idea, because Mexican prison are really bad, unlike usa one.

[@dariancollins9746]

Which do I need to locate to, so I can get in with no passport? That is the route I'll use

You can cross into Mexico through the Northern Land Border in Mexico but once you are here you wont be able to do much because you Need a Passport as your main ID to do anything in Mexico. It is not recommended to Move to Mexico without a passport.

Yes I think you can cross the land border, But if you are Mexican Born and have your Mexican Birth Certificate I would just go to a Mexican Consulate first and get your INE identification card that way you got no troubles. I don't think you can board a plane with just your birth certificate. For more information on how to get your Mexican papers you can watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i33HgZeodt5naMk

What if you have a foreign passport? Can you still go to Mexico?

Of course you can! You need to check if your passports country of origin has a travel treaty with Mexico to see how to go about getting your visa. Most countries get a simple FMM Visa you get at the port of entry.
