The Mexican passport (Spanish: Pasaporte mexicano) is the passport issued to Mexican citizens for the purpose of travelling abroad. The Mexican passport is also an official ID and proof of Mexican citizenship. According to the January 2024 Henley Passport Index,[1] holders of a Mexican passport can visit 159 (of 195) countries without a visa, ranking Mexico 55th in terms of global travel freedom.
Mexico transitioned to a biometric passport in 2021 called the electronic passport (pasaporte electrónico).[2]
