Will I have a hard time trying to go to El Paso Texas with my kids that were born in USA?

El Paso is in the U.S. What are you talking about? Are you in Mexico?

I will be in Mexico in 10 days… But I love going to El Paso, and I would love to take my kids with me..

In which countries were the passports issued? Are they US passports?

I’m pretty sure that you’ll need passports to cross international lines in either direction, regardless of what nationality you or they are.

I got my son a Passport when he was under two years old. Here is the Passport requirements for children under 16 the children are in Mexico now, the Passport is obtained from your closest US Consulate. If they are in the US, Passports can be obtained through the Post Office.

@PapaLeo They were born in the U.S. But not me, I am Mexican.

Yes, you have to have, a passport to enter the US, it doesn’t matter if your children are US citizens. Also, from my experience, your children need passports too. I had to have one, and so did my children, you have to have a passport to enter the US, and to enter Mexico.

I found this, so i guess they can cross with their birth certificates, my question is if i will have trouble because my last name is not in their complete name

Effective June 1, 2009, all U.S. citizens are now required to present a passport book, passport card, or WHTI-compliant document when entering the United States.
Please Note: Children under age 16 will be able to continue crossing land and sea borders using only a U.S. birth certificate (or other form of U.S. citizenship such as a naturalization certificate.). The original birth certificate or a copy may be used. See the Department of Homeland Security’s Ready, Set.. Go! for more information on the changing travel requirements.

We will be living in Mexico from now on, so I’m not asking if they need the passport to travel, only to go visit El Paso

So, your children don’t need one, but you do? I just read your children don’t need one, but nothing about someone over 16. You have an ID, with the name that is on their birth certificate? I think you would have to have one. Call the passport office, to know for sure, or someone else who has traveled more recently, than I have, can tell you.

No, I have my tourist visa with the same name that is on their birth certificates.

@2lat2be, last time I was in Mexico, was the early 90’s, I really don’t know what has changed, and what you need. Good luck!

Looks like you are good to go! Enjoy Texas!

Their birth certificates or valid copies have more than names. There will be information about the place of birth and an official govt seal. You should also have been given apps for SSN’s which have been issued to newborns for about 20 years. It’s surprising you aren’t aware of that. It would seem that birth/citizenship documents would be very important especially to world travelors.
