By law, if you are returning to the United States prior to 31Dec, 2006, then you are only required to present a *certified* copy of your birth certificate and a photo ID.

Get a passport. Anytime you leave the borders of your country have that passport with you. If there is police trouble your birth certificate isnt going to be enough to get you out of trouble. Also, if your flight was diverted else where instead of your home destination/country you would be up a creek without your passport and detained. I dont care what a travel agent says. Just have a passport on hand. It wont hurt you.

You only need a birth certificate to get into Mexico but starting Dec. 31, 2006 you will need a passport to get back to US. I just got back from Cabo and I only had my birth certificate. I had no problems at all. I would recommend getting a passport anyways just to be safe. I would have gotten one but I was getting married and the name change thing was too much of a fiasco.

It depends on where you are from. If you are from the United States you can get into Mexico with just your birth certificate and a drivers license. You do have to get a visa at the border. If you are from the USA a passport is better and easier. I you are from Europe, Asia, Africa, South or Central America or Australia you need passport

I recently read passports will be required when traveling to Mexico starting the 1st day (literally)of 2007. I was planning to travel there for Christmas.
Good luck!

Yes, Whenever travel outside the country a passport is needed. Wouldn't travel without it. Just make sure you keep it in a safe place.

i think that you won't need one unless you're coming back after Jan 2007. Just have your birth certificate or ID ready. i ran into the same problem, but i just brought my birth certificate and it was okay. I went during fall break. and oh - stay at Dreams Cancun resort and spa, i stayed there and it's beautiful! the World Cafe buffets are great.

Yes you do , how would you leave your country with out one.When you go to check in at your local airport they would send you home because you can not check-in with out a valid passport. Therefore you won't be boarding that aircraft to the sunny island of CANCUN Mexico. Please get one and have a great time in Mexico ,drink alot of tequila for the both of us.....
