Is the crossing (by car) insisting on a documented notarized letter for a child of divorce? I am taking down one of my sons to SF. On flights they
insist (at times) on seeing permission documents from the other parent, allowing his/her child?s entry to a foreign country.

I have taken various combinations of my 4 kids across the border over 100 times (each time by private aircraft), without their other biological
parent. Each time I had a notarized letter from her giving her permission. Not once was I ever asked for it by any Mexican official. That, of
course, does not in any way guarantee that they won't ask you for it. Just my own experience with this. Buena suerte,

I have taken my sons to SF and all over baja norte many, many times without my wife or a notorized letter. Many times we have been pulled into
secondary while crossing into Mex so they can check the papers on the motorcycles. They have never asked for a notorized letter. My wife has family in
Mexicali so she crosses without out me as well. I don't think you'll be asked to provide one. like you said flying commercial they are very strict.
My cousin had to delay her trip to Mex one time beacuse she didn't have a notorized letter..Go for it and have a great time. Paul

You may know how it is...getting getting documents to cloths for a kid's trip...from the ex'y! I will follow this good advice. My thanks to the

It doesn't matter if you are divorced or not. A parent is required to have a notarized affidavit of permission from the other parent for you to bring
a child into Mexico. I had to do it twice for my son, and I was asked to present it at the Baja Norte/Sur border. I typed the affidavit out myself,
brought it and my wife to the stationary store, and the store took it from there. It cost $10.00
