Know before you cross

  • On foot: This port has no regular pedestrian crossing — vehicle lanes only.
  • SENTRI / Ready Lane: The Ready Lane accepts RFID-chipped documents (passport card, green cards issued since 2010, border crossing cards). See lane types explained.
  • Documents: US citizens need a passport, passport card, or enhanced driver’s license; green-card holders show the green card; visa holders need passport + visa and should check their I-94 record after every entry. Full detail in the documents-to-cross guide.

If you live in the US without permanent status — DACA, TPS, a pending asylum case, or no status — leaving the country can permanently affect your case or block your return. Talk to an immigration attorney before any trip to Mexico. See traveling to your home country from the US and how to find an immigration attorney.
