Medical Power of Attorney and Permission Forms
For each trip, teenagers under 18 or living with and covered by their parents medical insurance, need to fill out a medical power of attorney for the dates of the trip. This makes sure we can authorize medical treatment and have the parent's or guardian's permission to take them into Mexico.
Adults need to fill out the medical power of attorney to give us permission to authorize medical treatment.

Sample Support Letters
Those going on the trip do not need to Send support letters. We strongly encourage everyone to do that for several reasons:
It allows others to be involved in the trip.
It allows others to share in the blessings of the trip when they cannot go.
It encourages prayer support for the individual and the trip
It helps create an accountability group for the participant.
Let the Lord work through others and see the blessings He brings.

Passports
As of 2009, the state department requires passports or pass cards to leave and enter the United States. It can take up to six weeks to get a new or renew a passport. Recently, that time has been shorter, but don't plan on it. If your passport expires within a couple of months after the trip, get it renewed before leaving to avoid problems getting back into the country.
As of January 2016, the costs for a new passport are:
- Adult Passport: $135: $110 + $25 Execution fee
- Adult Passport Card: $55: $30 + $25 Execution fee (acceptable for land or boat travel from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean)
- Dependent Passport: $105: $80 + $25 Execution fee
- Dependent Passport Card: $40: $15 + $25 Execution fee (acceptable for land or boat travel from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean)
