Hi there, this is my first post. I am concerned that the only identification my husband has to get back into San Diego is his drivers licence and multiple bills with his name and California address. But his entire file full of important documents has gone missing. Getting his birth certificate from England will be rough. Getting his US military documents, also rough. 54 days Til surgery in Tijuana. For those who've come back through at San Diego border... Should we be concerned? Oh and we have our marriage license and I have my birth certificate and license and bills. What's the worst case scenario???

Im not sure how not having your birth certificate will go. can you get a passport card? They are $55 if you've never had a passport and $30 if you have. Someone posted that it took them 10 days to get when they expedited it.

Best of luck

I thought you had to have a passport card. I hope you get it figured out.

Worst case scenario is he will be stopped at the border and not allowed back in. You need a passport or passport card to re-enter the US, and with 54 days you have time to get that (especially expedited). I bet you could even get his birth certificate from England in time, if you go online to order it and pay for the expedited shipping. If I were you, I wouldn't risk going over the border without the passport or passport card to get back.
