Passport/travel problem. Please advise!?


Travel Info
I am an American living in central Mexico. My father died today, but I lost my passport. I will call the embassy in DF tomorrow, but I want to know if any of you have ideas on how I might be able to get home. Will they issue me an emergency passport or will I need to take a bus north and walk across the border and get another bus to Michigan, or can I get a domestic flight with just a birth certificate once in Texas. I have the following documents 1) birth certificate 2)copy of drivers license....original lost as well 3) Mexican FM3 work visa 4)photocopy of passport.

I will return to a week or so. What are my options for returning to Mexico? Walk across the border again?

Thanks in advance for all your help.......Rob

sorry to hear about your father.

i would say your best bet is to call the embassy and tell them your situation. if you travel by land.. you shoudl be able to get across.. and then fly home.. but I am not sure. sorry i cant help much more!

The key thing here is "did you report your documents lost when that happened?!!" The embassy may be considerate to issue you a passport in the same day if you were considerate in reporting the lose of such important documents. In fact, if you didn't report the lose, you will suffer to get another passport. Good luck.
You can get a flight with just your birth certificate from Texas. You have enough ID to travel with in the USA. Getting back is the trick. You can go and see if you can get a new passport expedited. You may have to walk, drive across again to get back to Mexico. You do have a work visa, not sure if that will help.
