    I am going to CZM the first week of May and my passport expires the middle of May, will this cause any problems?

    The trips I have been on require you to have 6 months left on your passport. You should probably get it renewed before you go. You have plenty of time to get it done.
    In my many years I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress. - John Adams

    Why does someone believe you when you say there are 4 billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

    Why not just get it renewed and not worry about it?

    Renew it or your not going, and it wont be your doing.

    Some countries require 6 months, some don't, but all may change their requirements at any time. My guess is that Mexico does not require 6 months, but why would you want to take a chance? If it were me, I'd go ahead and do it now in case there are any holdups.

    You can get your Passport renewed 6 months out from expiration date.....a little sooner if you can prove it is essential to your work. Get'r done.
    The great thing about excruciating pain is....at least you know you're alive.

    When you show up at the airport the reps are going to check your passport and they won't let you board. Got plenty of time file the paperwork and relax.

    No, you don't need a passport to enter Mexico. You will however need a valid (on the day of admission) passport to re-enter the US. As long as you’re certain that you won't get held over before your expiration, then you'll be fine. However given the length of time you have before your trip, you mine as well renew it. Also be sure to check the State Departments travel advisories before you go. Other wise have a safe and fun trip, and have some tequila for me!

    Maybe not if you're driving across the border but you sure aren't getting on the plane to fly there without it.
    The water's more exciting with CHUM in it.

    No, USC's do not require a passport to enter Mexico.
