To enter Mexico from a foreign country you will need to obtain a Tourist Card (FMT). To get your Tourist Card you will need to prove citizenship, a passport is best for this purpose.   Other forms of accepted proof of citizenship include, certified birth certificate, voter's registration card, naturalization papers or a notarized affidavit of citizenship.  A photo ID is very helpful, a passport can serve as proof of citizenship and photo ID.  Airlines will furnish the Tourist Card.  Be sure to save the copy that is returned to you, as you must present this copy when leaving Mexico.

Beware !!!!, of the phones plastered all over some towns, usually on the front of businesses.  They are marked "TO CALL LONG DISTANCE TO THE USA & CANADA, SIMPLY DIAL 0"   The writing is in black and USA is in blue letters with CANADA in red letters.  They also have pictures of credit cards on the signs.   The phones are put there by a private phone company and are VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE.  You will probably faint when you see your phone bill or credit card bill.
