Getting into Mexico

I do not have my marriage license, to show name change, and the
courthouse cannot find it. Is there another document that would get me
into Mexico in addition to my Birth Certificate, besides a passport,
which I do not have time to get and the same problem arises.

You won't have any problem getting into Mexico - it's getting back home
that will be the hassle. If you're doing a land crossing and just
border-jumping than a driver's license will be sufficient. If you're
going further inland, then you would be well-served to get an emergency
passport, which for a fee, can be done quite quickly.

I've read a report that some offices are still taking voter
registration cards, but I wouldn't count on it. It wasn't a
reliable/verifiable source. If you are going to be south of the "free zone"
for less than 72 hours you won't need a tourist card and thus won't
absolutely need acceptable ID, but it's not really a good idea for a variety
of reasons. If you're only going to be in the "free zone" (all of Baja,
Rocky Point and generally 21 kilometers south of the border everywhere else)
Mexico doesn't require anything more than the ID you usually carry and it
shouldn't require anything else to get back into the US unless you look or
sound like a foreigner.
