Yes, this summer 2009 it will be an requirement for all persons to show a passport to cross the United States border back, and forth.
everyone has to have a passport
If you are a Mexican, Canadian or American citizen you can cross the border on foot or by car with a valid photo ID. As of July 2011 you still do not need a passport. If you were to arrive by air or Cruise ship you would need a passport.
If you are flying you need a passport. If you are driving over the border you can get a passport card, which is cheaper. If you are only going over the border for a day then I am not sure what you need.
No. You need an ID or birth certificate in case you cross the border by land, or a passport in case you take a flight into Mexico.
If you are going to Mexico and have a passport you do not need a driver's license if you are flying in an airplane. No. Actually, if you are not driving but simply crossing the border with a passport, you should not have problems reentering the United States from Mexico.
Your passport; if you are not from the US, Canada or the European Union, you also need a visa.Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas border Mexico.
You need a passport to cross the border into America from Mexico, and a visa (different visa for business or for visiting).
Not if their parent or parents are Mexican. We just went over the Christmas break and we were told that being my husband is Mexican the children didnt need to show their passports or get a temporary visa to enter Mexico. Now when coming back we showed all of our passports at the border and had no problems coming back. I do believe that all U.S. citizens now need a passport to reenter the U.S.
Yes, you need a passport to cross the U.S. border. If you are traveling by land or by sea, you can use a passport card, which is similar in size to a driver's license. If you are traveling by air, you must use a traditional passport. Considering the fact that a bus will take between 27 to 45 hours to reach Cancun (from the US-Mexico border), I guess your best bet is to take a flight; to board an international flight, you will need your passport.
If entering by land, all you need is an ID or birth certificate. If flying, you need a passport.
It is still possible to cross the US border into Canada or Mexico with only a drivers license and thus without a passport.
No, but if they want to come back they do. However, if accompanied by an adult who has a passport, a birth certificate should suffice.
