do we need passports for mexico?
<answer> Yes, if you are traveling by plane. <context> Right now, whether or not you need a passport to go to Mexico depends on two factors: how you’re getting there and when you’re planning to go. Passports are already required for travel to Mexico if you are traveling by plane. However, currently land and sea travelers can cross the border with state-issued ID (like a driver’s license) and proof of American citizenship (like a birth certificate).
