2/23 Do I need my passport on me to drive from San Diego to Tijuana and back? \_ No, but you are supposed to carry your Driver's license and some other official proof of your identity, like your voter registration card. Why not bring your passport? Also, make sure that you have Mexican car insurance. \_ ACORN!!@#!@#!@!!@#!@!1!1!one \_ I thought the rules for that changed a while back, so that you always need your passport when entering the country? \_ It looks like you are right. \_ So what happens if you just don't have it? Do you have to go through some giant hassle and visit some sort of embassy? \_ I am guessing if you don't look Latino and you don't get into any trouble with the law in Mexico, that nothing happens to you. I have never been asked to show any ID travelling across the US border by land and I have crossed it at least 20 times. If you get arrested in Mexico and you don't have ID, this could really suck for you though. I am not sure what ICE would do to you, probably detain you until you could prove citizenship. \_ obGoogle.
