A valid Green Card, alone, is acceptable at the land border to get back into the US. It is not acceptable as a document to go into Mexico, depending on how far from the US/Mexico land border you travel, and how long you intend to stay. You are advised to carry proof of your citizenship.

For additional information, check with the Embassy of Mexico, 1911 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20006 (202/736-1000) or nearest Consulate General: AZ (602/242-7398), CA (213/351-6800, 415/392-5554 and 619/231-8414), CO (303/331-1110), FL (305/716-4977), GA (404/266-1913), IL (312/855-1380), LA (504/522-3596), NY (212/217-6400), PR (809/764-0258) or TX (210/227-1085, 214/630-7341, 713/542-2300, 512/478-9031 and 915/533-4082).

uh...huh? you have a US greencard? or...a mexican greencard? i don't get it. if you have a US greencard, you should still be using the passport from your home country. if you are entering mexico via international bridge, you don't need a passport, just a birth certificate, and $17 for the tourist visa.

You need your Mexican passport and your green card also. The laws change now and when you enter to Mexico you have to show them your Mexican passport. And when you return to the United States you have to show them both, the green card and your passport. Since January 23. 2007 it is a requirement that every citizen on the United States, Mexico and Canada that have a valid passport. And the answer to your question is YES. You need a valid Mexican passport. Good luck and enjoy your trip!!

Green card is enough

you don't need a passport if you enter by car.

If you walk or drive across the border, then no, but if you fly then yes you need a passport, as of today...that could all change by tomorrow.

Only if you fly. Next year (2008) it will start of land and sea crossings as well but for this year it is only air travel.

No. Go to Mexico. You do not come back into the US however without a passport. Once you leave - bye bye - you are now a Mexican citizen if you dont have your passport on you.
