Safari Border Crossing

Optional group crossing: Safari participants can meet at San Ysidro Village (the Ross/Mervyns shopping center) and cross as a group. They will leave at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 30 and then cross the border. They will get their FMM cards at the border. The group will stop for lunch on the way down.

Paperwork

Please make sure you have the following documents:

• ID for U.S. citizens: a passport book or passport card are good for land crossings to Mexico. (A passport book is needed for air travel.)
• ID for non-U.S. citizens: a passport is required. Check this page to see if you need a Mexican visa.
• Valid auto registration
• NORRA sticker or dashboard sign
