(in my best Bill Clinton voice):
My fellow RDCers, I may have an opportunity to go to Mexico for the Baja 500 next weekend. I am not in posession of a passport however, and am curious if I will be stuck down there if I go.

I know that the majority of you have crossed the border several times ( I have not in many years, and policies may have changed) so I need someone to tell me what I need to carry for positive ID. I obviously cannot aquire a passport before next weekend...
I was under the impression that a state issued ID, along with a photocopy of my birth certificate might be adequate (not too crazy about that, but....)

OK I need your help!!! Thanks in advance everyone!!!!

You should be good sub.

It's a little easier by car if you have a passport. But Photo ID and Birth Certificate are still ok at this point. If you're flying you must have a passport. So don't need to be helicopter'de out. I heard rumors that the fine is around $20,000.

If you are going to be in a race truck you need a copy of passport to get a wrist band. Actual I think it said drivers license was ok.

That's all need for now. You shouldn't have any problem.

Your DL and Original birth certificate will do just fine......You can use a photo copy buy sometimes they give you a hard time about it...

[DEZERTSUB]

OK, so the general concensus is that my DL and birth cert. (photocopy, I wouldn't dare take the original) will be enough to get me back into the US. Thanks everyone for your help!!!!
