can I fly out of Reynosa Mexico with my Texas ID and a copy of my birth certificate?. June 2020
I am a US citizen but don't have a passport, and I'm not able to get one, because I have outstanding child support debts.
I would like to fly out from Reynosa, Mexico to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Will I be able to board the plane with just a Texas Driver's License, a birth certificate and a completed covid-19 form?
I need information that is current as of July, 2020.
Best Answer
Flights.google.com shows that flights between Reynosa, Mexico and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, all connect via Mexico City.
This MEX Airport FAQ webpage contains the following text:
Documents for traveling on a domestic flight:
Mexicans
Boarding pass and an official identification (voter ID, passport, driver's license)Foreigners
Boarding pass and valid passport
Thus, if you are a Mexican citizen and have a valid Mexican voter ID, Mexican passport, or Mexican driver's license, you can take these flights.
The documents you list in the question (birth certificate and Texas drivers license) do not meet the requirements set forth on the FAQ page.
