Military ID for travel
« on: September 12, 2006, 21:11:07 »
Does anyone know if Military ID is an acceptable form of ID for travel to Mexico in place of a birth certificate? You need a drivers licence and birth cert, but I haven't been able to find my bc so I was wondering if Military ID would work, or if I need to keep looking. Thanks in advance.

Personally, I wouldn't want anyone outside the US or Canada to know I was in the military and I would find my BC.

Personally, Id just invest in a passport...  Though you will prob need the birth cert to get it anyway.

Depending on province of birth, Ontario you can order them online now I think, or you can get it same day at a registrars.

Get a passport. If you lose it the consulate there can replace it. Your Mil I card I'd leave it at home.

I think that just about solves your dilemma. Right?
"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 2007 winning entry, Texas A&M University - most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

DISCLAIMER - my opinion may cause manginal irritation.
