From my research, you don't need a passport to go across the border into Mexico, but you need a passport or passport card (much cheaper) to get back into the US by land.
If you're staying for an extended period of time, you'll need to get a Tourist Visa. It's good for up to six months and costs about $25 US Dollars. It can be purchased when you cross the border into Mexico.
In order to get the Tourist Visa, you will need a passport.
I'm not familiar with the "enhanced driver's license" that @chronogn mentioned. It's nothing that we have.
Thanks for replying so soon....I subscribed on Youtube and turned on notification....I am cant wait to see what you will share...
I may be following in your folk's foot step to Mexico sooner than I think....this spring would be nice. I have a travel modified van so, I will fix up inside with refridge, and a large sink big enough to sit in it to wash myself. I will wire up electrical boxes....I have bed back there, sleeping bag, transformer, fan, heater, propane tank and heater...wood stove....ready for any disaster too..lol
I think the enhanced drivers license is the same thing as the passport card. It's only good to cross borders in North America (Mexico, US, and Canada). It might just be a Michigan thing....
