Last year they would not accept my passport card.By Land.

Always use our card, have our passports but they never have asked in or out of Mexico, that would be driving. East entry Calexicomexicali-kid - 11-30-2015 at 10:38 AM

TJ last year,two times freinds crossed TJ. They went to office at border.Where told We need
your passport,not your passport card..So they rode into Mexico,with nothing.That was 2014,so maybe things have changed.MMc - 11-30-2015 at 03:22 PM
I have been using my card for the last year and a half to get my 180 dy FMM'smexicali-kid - 11-30-2015 at 03:33 PM
Took the road from Mexicali to Tijuana. Passed through the military checkpoint just west of the Laguna Salada. An immigration official stopped me and
asked to see my papers. I didn't have any. I was politely told that they were tightening things up and I would need to start carrying an FMM.

Got mine in Ensenada 6 months ago with a card. Also there was a big poster at the desk with accepted forms of ID and there was a pic of a PP card.
I don`t think a card was good a year or so ago, but now es bueno!!!AKgringo - 11-30-2015 at 04:47 PM
I suspect that there will be some INM employees, or perhaps even local supervisors that did not get the memo, or got it wrong.nbacc - 11-30-2015 at 05:06 PM
WE have had our cards for several years and there has never been a problem. Driving only though Nancy Doug/Vamonos - 12-1-2015 at 12:57 PM
Lots of good responses. I asked because I need to renew my PP and can get the card only for $30 instead of paying $110 for the book. Since I don't fly
international I can save some bucks. Thanks.mtgoat666 - 12-1-2015 at 03:27 PM

Card can be used in ready lane, book can't. Bajakiter - 12-1-2015 at 08:44 PM
Wife and I have both have the card since it first became available for when we drive across and regular book for air travel. Have never had a problem
using my card to get a tourist visa at the TJ office. But that being said, it does not surprise me some have been told that they don't accept it.
Sometimes you get a guy in there thats a little bit off. WestyWanderer - 12-4-2015 at 07:43 PM
Passport card was fine on my last two trips south (Oct. and Nov.) at the west Mexicali crossing. Both times I asked for a 5 day FMM (because they are
free) and they wrote it for a week.
The most recent two times we have crossed the mexican border agent has stopped us for a search followed by a mexican immigration official asking for
our tourist paperwork. Both times I told them I didn't have papers yet and they politely escorted me to the office. Both times the official
mentioned that they are tightening their immigration. Once we left the border, on both trips, we weren't asked for the papers again by anyone.
