I know I am really thinking in advance, but I know like the visa process, when things start to happen there seems to be no time for anything. My husband and I plan visiting his family in Mexico next summer after the baby is born. Does anyone know the requirements for traveling to Msxico with an infant, what papers are required, etc.

thanks for your help

Now that my husband is a citizen, we are preparting documents to apply to bring his parents here.

Passport is just so much easier.... Proof of citizenship is required until the passport rule is in place.

but nevertheless a Birth certificate will do?

Driving or flying?

If flying, a passport is required after Jan 8, 2007 (that's less than three months away).

http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html

If driving or walking, you've got another year or so before the passport is absolutely required.

Check with the Mexican consulate to find out about possible requirements for travel within the country. I suspect there's no problem if both parents are with the child, but it probably a good idea to carry the birth certificate showing that you're the parents. There are some countries that have laws to make international child abduction harder, requiring permission of both parents for a child to board an airplane. I know from my own experience that Venezuela requires some special paperwork if a minor child is travelling with only one parent, but I'm not at all familiar with Mexican law in this area.
