Passports

Good Afternoon,
I plan to visit Puerto Penasco in January 2020 for six weeks.
My passport expires on February 7 2020 while I am in Mexico.
Do I need to renew my passport to be able to leave Mexico
at a later date in February? Thank you.
Bill

    If a US Citizen, you do not need a Passport to enter the US. The Passport will speed things up, but if you have no Passport (expired or none), you will eventually be let in. It can take hours to be processed and released so make sure you have lots of reading material until they finally verify your identity.

    You don't need a valid passport to leave Mexico, but to enter the US.

    Yes, you must have a current, unexpired passport to enter the US.

    Renew it now!
