She can go to the post office and take the girls birth certificate. They can process her passport right there.It will take a few weeks to get it so she needs to start early. Everybody needs passports now. Even children.

If you are flying internationally, you will need passports, if you cross through a land border on foot or a car, or bus, you will need to have proper identification upon re-entry. You can use your birth certificate and a state issued or gov't identification, but you need some form of documents to re-enter. The officer can allow you to enter with only a verbal declaration, but only if the officer believes you, but you need to show proof and the burden of proof lies with the traveler. The way things are now, having some documention, is a must.

I do recmmend that you niece get a passaport for her little girl because in the way back she might not be able to Identificate her at the inmigration entrance just with a birth certificate...I got one for my little one and no problems at all...So she needs one for her girl...Anybody can live but geting back in everybody needs a form of ID and that is a passaport so B Certif don't work as a form of ID...

Under the new rules enacted in January: EVERYBODY needs a passport.

Until next year, when you are crossing the Mexican boarder by foot or car you do not need identification. The Law states that it is sufficient to "declare" your citizenship upon re-entry.
