Any way a United States minor can go to Mexico without a passport?
Q. My friend is planning to go with my family to Mexico during Christmas break. He's 15 & was born in the United States & lives here. He never traveled so he doesn't have a passport but he has a birth certificate. How will he be able to go with us?

A. No he can't if you plan to take a flight. Each U.S. citizen needs a valid passport for an international flight. Should you however plan to drive and cross the land border or take a cruise he can use his birth certificate to travel being below 16 years. .. In this case he also must have a notarized letter of consent signed by both of his parents. ..
