Papers needed to enter Mexico

[DrunkMonkey 0]

Going to El Paso this weekend. Going to visit Ciudad Juarez during the day. What papers does one need to get in/out of Mexico? is my Driver's License and Military ID sufficient, or should I take my passport?

I have a funny story about my trip to Mexico. I had forgot my driver's license in my other pants, and I got back into the states just showing my Sam's membership card.

I'd stick with just the driver's license. Military ID for re-entry perhaps, but not to enter Mexico.

Drink some tequila whilst down there.

passport if you've got it. Post 9/11 they've been hypersensitive. Drivers license and military id is probably sufficient, though.

Just don't be stumbling around drunk after dark down there. A driver's license is all you need.

There is a tequila bar in Playa del Carmen where I am known as 'El Borracho'. Spent a few days there then went to Belize/Guatemala. When I came back a couple of weeks later they STILL remembered me. When I came in they screamed 'El Borracho' just like they do 'Norm' in Cheers.

Coming back into the states is the only issue where you might need to pull out ID, a Mil ID won't hurt but save it for the US BP agents. I wouldn't recommend using it in Mexico for the average street cop. If your detained in Mexico,whip it out and ask for US embassy representation immediately.

I don't recommend a passpport since you really aren't traveling abroad and it isn't required to cross into/from mexico. Stolen passports is a huge ring and they bring lots of $ on the black market. If your going to Mexico for the reason I think you are, youmake juicy target when you whip passport out. It would be far less trouble if you lost or had your drivers license stolen than your passport.

I went to the local circuit court and picked up a copy of my birth certificate for $5. That worked flying in and out of Mexico for me.

I'm about 1300 miles from Cook Cty, so I'll just use my passport, and keep it in a hidden (inside) pocket in my shorts...

Thx all!

Texas driver's license is all us Texicans need...besure not to even have pocket knife on you, though. Oh and don't dick around trying to sneak anything back, if you're caught, you're screwed.

Be careful in border towns (both sides) they tend to be higher crime...so you could get drunk and SCREWED...


But, border towns are a LOT of fun, go buy a cuban cigar and enjoy it while walking around or drinking in Mexico. I think its about time for me to go back down to Neuvo Laredo again.
Oh, if you like border towns...look up Boys Town and take $100 cash, you'll have a night you'll remember the rest of your life.

I was hoping it mean 'The JACKASS' but think it means 'The Drunkard' or 'The Drunken American Idiot Who Dances on Tables and Sings' or something of that nature.

That's not a crime...getting taken "for a ride" and being tossed in jail in Mexico can happen easily that way though (I've seen it happen before).

You didn't think the clicky was funny?

Hehehehehehee..........IIRC the US BP has an "unofficial" uniform called the "Tijuana Tuxedo." It's just the uniform pants, boots, and T shirt. They wear it after work to go get their friends out of jail on the "Other Side."

Saw a documentry tonight about the police an crime in Mexico DF
not shure which group were worse, the police or the criminals.

If you order, order a couple as anything above one is cheaper and you're bound to need one at some point. When I ordered mine a few years ago, #1 was $15. Every copy after that was $0.50.

I've been in and out of Mexico 3 times in the past 2 years. I never used any IDs getting in or out, only had to present my birth certificate to get a work permit(which is why I was there).

If you go to Juarez, eat at El Hoouas!
