I just crossed the Mexicali border crossing last night, coming back from SF Prerun..... Just my birth certificate and ID.. no Passport. Not a problem whatsoever, the 3 other guys riding with me had their passports, and she didn't even mention a single thing to me about needing a Passport. Simple "What was the reason for your visit? Who's car is this? Anything to declare from Mexico? Have a good night"

I came across the Tecate crossing coming back from last years 1000, and it was the same thing. Not a word about a Passport.

Cesar Chanate told me that he's crossed probably close to 50 times, without a passport, and it's never been a problem.

Just like I've been doing, I wouldn't worry about it..

I wouldn't go with out a passport. With that said it's really hit and miss but they are not going to deny you entrance to your own country!

They will hassle you a little depending if the person is an ** OOH LA LA**** OOH LA LA**** OOH LA LA**** OOH LA LA**** OOH LA LA**** OOH LA LA**** OOH LA LA** but they will let you pass. They cant make you stay in Mexico just because you do not have a passport.

They can't deny you entry into the United States if you are a US citizen.....They will and can detain you just to verify.......but they won't deny you entry........We have been down to the Baja 500, Baja 1000 last year and not once did they ask to see our passports.....I have a WHTI card and he didn't want to see it, he just ran my DL and told your good to go....

been to mexicali a few times in the last 2 weeks. No one had passports or birth certificates. we just give our dl's, get asked a few questions and good to go. seems like there not pressing the passport issue much!

Does not mean you should not have a Passport! PAB made an awesome point in another thread, You cannot be AirLifted without having a passport. I have worked a few races down there as a race medic and I always asked to make sure they had there passport.
