That sounds about right. I live in San Diego and we're constantly driving the 25 miles over to Tijuana to take advantage of the fine dining, low cost dental and medical care, and of course the great shopping. The last I heard you can still use a drivers license to get back, but they prefer a passport. They are going to require the passport at some point in the relatively near future - maybe the future is now? Normally stuff like that makes the local news here in paradise, but I haven't heard anything.ultrarunner said:I'm getting conflicting intel on Pax entry requirements.
The US DOJ says this:
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: The Government of Mexico requires that all U.S. citizens present proof of citizenship and photo identification for entry into Mexico. However, U.S. citizens have encountered difficulty in boarding flights in Mexico without a passport. The U.S. Embassy recommends traveling with a valid U.S. passport to avoid delays or misunderstandings. However, U.S. citizenship documents such as a certified copy (not a simple photocopy) of a U.S. birth certificate, a Naturalization Certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Certificate of Citizenship are acceptable.
Air Routing is telling me this:
ACCORDING TO OUR AGENT IN MEXICO, PASSPORTS ARE MANDATORY.
What's the real deal? My lead pax is pretty savvy, and will likely have the same DOJ intel that I do. Naturally I want to avoid any issues south of the border, but I want good intel.
IMO, I would think the Mexican handler word rules, and that's just the way it is and the heck with DOJ. It's a US Govt operation anyway. And I got no prob with that.
