Did the passport law get passed yet about not being able to come back in the US without one even if your 17?

what's being 17 have to do with anything? under 18 people still have to follow the laws the rest of us do. You have an id I assume, a birth cartificate, and can get a passport. Right now you need an id and birth certificate. I believe that you don't need a passport for canada or mexico until jan 1st 2007.

i believe right now you need a birth certificate and a governement issued id and if you are under 18 i believe you need a parental authorization form or something along those lines. I also believe the new law goes into effect in december. check out http://www.state.gov for all the laws and regulations

One, why would you go to Mexico without one? Did you lose it? If so, you'd need to visit the US Embassy for a replacement (if you're in Mexico already) Otherwise, go to the nearest office to get a replacement.

If not and you just decided that you can break the law because you don't want to apply for and pay for a Passport, then you'll get what you deserve.

They'll need you to provide proof of citizenship like a notarized official birth certificate and it may take you a few days to sort things out.

Yeah the passport law has passed but you don't have to have on until December 31, 2006. After January 1, 2007, all people, including newborns, will have to have one to come and go from the US. no matter if you are a citizen or not. It doesn't matter after 1-1-07 if you go to Canada or Mexico. You will need one no matter what!
