IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ!
As of January 2009, a valid U.S. passport is required for all to enter and exit Mexico. Birth certificates are no longer accepted as appropriate documentation. Only a passport will get you in and out - by both land and air. Info and links to application forms are below.
Please don't wait - start this process now to ensure
that you can participate in S.A.L.T. Mission Camps this summer!
The NEW Passport Card: In addition to the traditional passport book, a passport card is now being issued for a much cheaper price. Since this card is ONLY accepted at Mexico-U.S. land crossings, it is a great option for those attending this year.
