Can I travel to Mexico with passport that expires in one month?

by Nikkie
(Dallas, Texas, USA)

Question: My husband,son and I have a 7 day all inclusive trip planned for Mexico this coming Saturday (July 17th). We were not aware of the 6 month passport validation rule for many countries and trying to find if Mexico requires a 6 month expiration date beyond the travel date is difficult to find.

Will we be okay to travel since our passports are valid for the time of our trip and do not expire until well over a month upon our return to the United States? Paying for a passport expedited within one week is nearly impossible at this late date and extremely expensive. We would prefer, if possible, to renew at a leisurely pace upon our return.

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Answer: Mexico does not require the six months validity in your passport in order to enter. You can renew the passports once you return from your trip.

Expedited Passport
by: Dani

Hello,
My Husband and I have misplaced (after several moves) our passports. They have since expired. We plan to go to New Orleans to get new ones. What form do we fill out and does New Orleans offer the same day or one day service?

Thank you!

Dani,

Regional agencies can process applications the same day if required. However, they have a limit on how many they can process and evaluate the need based on urgency, that is, the date of your flight. Depending on your departure date, you may be required to return to the agency on a different day in order to pick up your passport. Note, the New Orleans Passport Agency is only open from 8:00am - 12:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

Since your passports have been lost, you must apply for a passport as if for the first time. For a complete list of requirements, click the link below.
