Can I travel to Mexico without a passport?
The short answer is yes and no.Depending on where you hold citizenship. If you are in the U.S. and need to travel to Mexico and you are a Mexican citizen then yes you can fly without a passport.Airlines have special procedures for “passport exceptions” or “passport emergencies”.Most airline counter personnel and gate agents will not know this. In this case you will need to ask for a supervisor, sometimes 2 or 3. Whatever it takes.The correct answer is that you can fly to your citizenship country if you have a valid “identity document” from your country. You will also need to show this document to a TSA supervisor and you would probably be selected for additional security screening.When you land in your country you will probably have to explain how you got out of the U.S. without a passport. However, since you are a citizen in that country, there’s no way for them to deny entry to one of their own citizens, passport or not.
Do U.S. citizens need a passport to go to Mexico and back?
To be absolutely exact, depends.The minimum required nowadays for travel to Mexico (and the Caribbean, Canada and Bermud) and back via land or sea is a passport card. Apparently one can enter Mexico by air with the passport card, but upon return to the US (via air) a passport is required.Eligibility requirements for both passport and passport card are the same (being a US citizen) but the card is cheaper.Official info:Passport CardMexico

U.S. Military identification card when traveling on official orders: Children are also required to present their own passport when traveling by air.Land or Sea Travel: U.S. citizens entering the United States by land or sea are required to present a valid WHTI-compliant document, which include:U.S. PassportsU.S. Passport CardsEnhanced Driver's LicensesEnhanced Tribal Card (ETC)Trusted Traveler Cards (Global Entry*, NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST)Military Identification Cards (for members of the U.S. armed official maritime business)* The Global Entry (GE) card is only an ENTRY document and may not be used to enter Canada, Mexico or Adjacent Island.Military personnel traveling under orders may present photo ID and orders. Family members must present a passport (with the exception of children 15 and younger arriving by land or sea.)If you can’t establish residence status at the border, the CBP agent may choose to ask you some questions or deny you entry.
