ID Requirements:
Passport and Tourist
ID Card: If you are planning on staying
more than 72 hours, or travel farther south
than Ensenada, you will need a stamped Mexican
Tourist Card.
Minors
without parents need a signed consent form from
their parents, available at Mexican Consulates.
Nationalities other than American should check
with Mexican officials for requirements.
Getting
your Mexican Tourist Card:If you are
flying in, the airline will provide you with
your tourist card, otherwise you will have to
get one in Mexico.
If
you are entering Mexico from San Diego, you
can get the tourist card in the building on
the right directly after the Mexican Customs
Declaration area, to the side of secondary inspections.
This is directly after you enter Tijuana. It
is in a room at far North side of the building.
There is no sign there that this is the place,
just a man in a room with a desk.
You
don't really want to pull in right there where
you get the Tourist crad because that is where
they pull people over to search them, they may
think you have been signaled for secandary inspection
and search you. Avoid this: Instead park just
past there at the building with the "Tourist
Information" sign and walk back 200 yards
or so.
Go
into the room, fill out your info, they will
usually ask you where you are going(In spanish).
Then you pay $10 at the booth outside, then
go back in and have the officer stamp you card.
This is good for 180 days.
Mexican
Auto Insurance:
THIS
IS A REQUIREMENT. Get your Mexican Auto insurance
BEFORE you drive into Mexico. You can buy it
right before you cross the border into Mexico.
They sell it by the day, although it can be
cheaper by the day. You could also get it online:
search for "mexico auto insurance"
on google for the latest.
