What is a tourist card?
When making any international trip, it is necessary to identify yourself with an official document known as a tourist card. That is why all foreign citizens visiting Mexico must fill out the Immigration Entry Form (FMM) before they arrive in Mexico. We make the immigration process easier for you by providing you with the Immigration Form, and you can fill it out online.
The online registration is very simple, all you need is your passport, flight information, name of the hotel where you are staying, or address. When you finish, you will need to print the Official Entry Tourist Card. IMPORTANT the tourist card is per person including minors.

Requirements for minor-aged travelers in Cancun.
All minors must present a passport when entering the country. If the minor does not have a valid passport, he/she may present official identification. Passport is not mandatory for children. However, for security reasons, they must carry it. It is recommended that all minors travel with an adult who is responsible for them.

If the minor's companion is not a relative or parent, this permission will also be required.
