U.S. citizens may begin applying in advance for the new U.S. Passport Card on Feb. 1, 2008, in anticipation of land border travel document requirements. The U.S. Department of State expects that cards will be available and mailed to applicants in spring 2008. Although DHS was on schedule to begin implementation of the new requirements as early as summer 2008, the fiscal year 2008 Appropriations Bill passed by Congress last month restricts the department from implementing these new requirements until June 2009.

Beginning January 31, 2008 the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has implemented new border crossing requirements for US citizens crossing from Mexico to the US.

The requirement for ADULTS (18+) is to have any ONE of the following three forms of ID:

1. Driver's License (or other Government issued photo ID) and a Birth Certificate
2. US Passport
3. SENTRI (in SENTRI lanes)

The requirement for MINORS is now to have any ONE of the following forms of ID:

1. Birth Certificate
2. US Passport
3. SENTRI (in SENTRI lanes)

Note that these requirements don't mean that you are forced to permanently live in Mexico if you lack one of these documents. However, you may be subject to the DHS Secondary inspection which can further delay your crossing.
*And they almost never smile in Secondary! ;-(
