It depends on how far you're going.
If you stay in the state closest to the border (Sonora, Baja California Norte, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, or Tamaulipas) you don't. For example, i live in AZ and can travel all of Sonora without the use of a US passport. But if you take your car across, you'll need proof of ownership (registration). I would need a passport if i wanted to go out of Sonora, like to Chihuahua, or Sinaloa.
See what i mean? A long as you stay in the state closest to the US state you entered, you'll be ok. But once you go beyond that Mexican state's borders, you'll need a paspsort or a permiso form the Mexican Government.

You do not need a passport to go to Mexico if you live in the U.S., however, on the way back you will be asked if you are a citizen and may be asked to show proof.

Yes, you do. in any country. The only country you do not need a passport is places like Puerto Rico and Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands (because they are all commonwealth of the U.S.).

A passport or a valid U.S. drivers license (and 50 questions )....as of now that is....they might change over to strictly passports in the future.

You have to have a passport to travel between countries. Its the law. Its the one of the ways they keep terrorists from entering the country.

If you are an American citizen they cannot keep you out. They only require certified birth certificates at the moment, and proof that you are you. That is due to change soon.

You will need some kind of proof your an american citizen. A passport is the easiest proof of identity.

wow....lots of wrong answers on this. At the moment a driver's license is sufficient if you are a US citizen..... soon you will need a passport.
