a couple months back I asked the military boys why they are logging travelers...
answer...orders
they ONLY want your ID ...then they write down the car license...
year and model
they don't really need your passport or visa
this is NOT a IMM stop

what she said
they ask for a passport because it is the easiest to say in English as the word is essentially the same in Spanish.
at the SI checkpoint, they recently started asking for a passport and we just give them our DL. They need a name. where you are coming FROM and
where you are going TO. passsport means I need your ID ...

I have been asked for many things at check points, batteries,cd player, knife sharpener, soccer ball, car registration(San Ignacio on Mex 1 by San Ig
police not FDC)
BUT NEVER FOR MY PASSPORT. I always have it handy because they want it on the U.S. side. Times are changing.

Thanks david for posting a picture of an FMM, we have discussed on previous threads that keeping one so folks could enter and re enter Mexico up to
180 days...As you can see on the front top it explains you can not do what you suggested..........

I have always had a valid passport and got the fmm (or had one that had not expired) before entering Mexico. The law says we should have one. For me
it is easier to supply it if asked for than seeing if I can get by with less. I guess it might be just me but I go to Mexico to enjoy life. For me,
if i have it, it is just easier to give them what they ask for.

Heading north last Monday from Mulege I was asked for my passport at the San Ignacio checkpoint and I just indicated I would write my name on the form
myself. I was handed the clipboard and filled in my name in the space indicated. Was asked the year of my truck - "dos mil y cinco". They ask for your
passport because it is easy for them to copy your name from for the form they are filling out. In the past I have given them my passport, my DL or my
FM-3. Don't read too much into it. Jim

Another point - they could ask for your name but most of us don't know how the letters of the alphabet are pronounced in Spanish so it's just easier
to get something with your name on it to copy from. Jim

Passed through the same check point about week and half ago heading back from San Ignacio and after I gave them my FM3 the soldier checking was only
interested in my 21 year old daughter and if she wanted a Mexican boy friend along with her American boy friend, we all had fun with that nice guy he
wanted to stay in contact on facebook. It does get boring and lonely out there.
