but can you get an FMM without one?
If you are going past the immediate border area and you get FMM?

Wow, way to bring up a thread that is 7 years old Dan!!
Americans cannot be denied entry back into their own country... proving they're Americans is easiest done with a passport or passport card. It is up
to the border officer to send you to secondary to better prove your citizenship if he is not convinced by your words or other IDs. I have family
members who had no issues at all coming back to the U.S. without a passport or birth certificate the past few years. They apparently do a great job
looking and sounding like American citizens? |

Yes, you can still cross the border with a drivers license and birth certificate.
You are still supposed to have US Passport or US Passport Card, but I see people still cross with only their drivers license and birth certificate,
and since I often walk over the border. I see the brief exchange at the border, and most of the time the customs guy working the line, says nothing
about not having a passport, other times, but rarely, they will tell the person crossing back into the US about the passport requirement, before
waving them through.
I have never seen anybody sent to secondary for not having a passport or pass card.
I have also taken extended family members over the border and back, with only a DL and BC, and they had no problems crossing back into the US.

Well, now that is a southbound issue... and as far as I know and have seen personally at the INM office, a passport is required to get the tourist
card (FMM) for stays over 3 days or any trip south of the border zone (Maneadero/ San Felipe). Tourist cards for up to 7 days are FREE, and longer (up
to 180 days) are around US$25.

That is just freaking stunning...just exactly what does an American citizen LOOK LIKE David? Statistically, compared to the rest of the world, that
would be white, fat, speaking only one language, and carrying a gun...right? You never fail to amaze me dude!

When was the last time anyone was asked to produce an FMM? and where? GN ag. Inspection/spray job I'd assume..
I took a buddy last year.. I had an FMM left over from previous trip and didn't want to stop and get him one.. I took the dirt road go around at GN
coming and going to avoid the inspection.. Kinda felt like I got away with one.. But can't remember ever being asked to produce my FMM.......
