saw this ? on another thread and was wondering if it will pass for ID with MexiMigra? do you need to show them a passport or will they accept the new card? heading south next friday and my old FMT just expired aug 22.

maybe someone can stop and ask at tj????

I'm wondering the same also. I believe
it is still the same 6/2009 when all
US citizens entering the Us by land
must show passport/passcard.
Came back a couple weeks ago,
showed my 50 some yr. old original
birthcert. Just guessing, I doubt Mex Immigration
would be familiar with the passcard yet,
I believe the passcard is only 6 weeks
old or so. I'm under the impression
Mex Imm still takes Us birthcerts for FMT's.
Would be a bit of a waste to get
a passcard, then Mex Imm hops on
the bandwagon and demands Us passoprts
for FMT's
