Assuming you are a naturalized citizen of the USA: you do not need a passport until January 2007. But you would be wisse to have one, as it is the best proof of nationality. You could bring your naturalization certificate and driving license, but that is less practical.

Naturalised citizen or not I would definately get a passport. You will need one starting 8 January 2007. Right now with all the illegal immigration from Mexico, if you are of hispanic descent, the safest way for re-entry into the US is with a Passport.

As of January 8, 2007, you will need a passport for ANY and ALL travel in and out of the US. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to get your passport. You'd better get started.
If you are traveling within two weeks, or need to apply for a visa to travel, you can go to one of the 7 passport agencies around the US and apply in person for your passport. In that case, you will get the passport on the same day.
Good luck.

Not until 1 January 2008 if you are crossing the border by land or by sea. If you are flying you'll need a passport this coming January, 2007.

starting Jan. 8, 2007 you will need a passport to fly to Mexico. if you drive you do not need a passport until June 1, 2009. just show proof of citizenship. if you do not make a copy of the naturalization certificate, and some picture i.d.

Travel after 12-31-06 requires a passport. You can check the post office website. Most are currently mailing out cards to box-holders giving notice of the new laws.

If you're an American you can go now but starting the first of the year you must have a passport to get back into the US.
