[kp2010 35]

Has anyone cross the border and did t have a passport only had DL and original birth cert. if so was it easy did they hold you up etc... Reason u ask my passport has not come in yet so idk what too do surgery is the 28th I still have time but just curious...

You still have a lot of time so don't worry too much. Some say they only used BC and DL.. But that's not something I would even think about counting on. It's easy to get into MX it's getting back in to the US that can be the problem

Here in WA they won't even let us cross back and over with Canada w/o passport or enhanced license.

I think ur only allowed to use your birth cert on cruises that go from 1 US city to the same US city (regardless of countries visited). I think a passport is required to physically go across any border (whether it be Canana or Mexico). Good luck! Did u put a rush on it?

I've read about this topic before. I was going to go with just my DL&BC. Changed my mind - we're getting Passport Cards which I think take about 2 weeks. I don't want to get stuck in Mexico.

Yes I did put a rush on it.. But they still say processing and 4/6 weeks b4 completed

You still have two weeks. You'll probably have it by then.

I expedited mine and it took about three weeks.

I just got mine and it took 3 1/2 weeks.

I'm a travel agent. Get your passport.

I know how you feel this is my fourth week waiting for my passport and I only have 3 days left until I go! I looked online and said I should get it by Monday, the day I fly out of course. I wonder if my husband can overnight it to my hotel in Mexico?

Edited to add that mine is also only the card and not the full passport and is been 4 weeks and I have not received it yet.

Wow that's crazy!!!! I just hope mine come soon if not i will be traveling with original birth cert. and DL... Pray it works

Tijuana...

[mrsreyes 24]

I go to Mexicali at least 3x a year and every time I cross with my DL and birth certificate. I've never had any problems.
