Border Crossing Information - News Note: This page will be updated as the US Customs and Until December 2007, traveling to Tijuana Mexico, U.S. Citizens are exempt from passport requirements. However, it is highly recommended that a U.S. Citizen be prepared to present documentation such as valid or expired U.S. passport, U.S. birth certificate, or Naturalization certificate to avoid delays. For Minor children: A notarized consent letter from a/the parent(s) or legal
guardian is required for children under age 18 traveling alone, or in someone
else's custody. (Along with a U.S. Birth Certificate and other picture
identification.) Ask your local police department if they provide minor
ID's. When will I have to get a US Passport? Because this will be a significant change in historical practice for many travelers, the initiative will be rolled out in phases, providing as much advance notice as possible to the affected public to enable them to meet the terms of the new guidelines. The proposed phased-in timeline is as follows:
We also suggest that if do not already have
a US Passport, you should get one soon. When planning a trip, ask all
participants if they have a US Passport, bring it. References: http://www.customs.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacation/kbyg/documentary_req.xml http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/tips/brochures/brochures_1229.html NEWS DHS: New Passport Initiative Announced to Better Secure America's Borders
