Douglas
9AM - 5PM Daily
Douglas is a quiet, roomy crossing into Agua Prieta with a 24-hour Banjercito, which makes it handy for early or late crossings.
What's where?
Marker positions are approximate — confirm exact locations on the day.
Mexican customs checkpoint inside the border facility (\'Garita Mexicana\') where vehicles are inspected or waved through.
Immigration office co-located inside the Mexican border facility for FMM tourist permit stamping.
24/7 vehicle-permit office located inside the same Garita Mexicana complex as customs and immigration — unlike some crossings, it\'s right at the border, not miles south.
Sport’s Zone Beer & Grill located a short drive from the crossing in downtown Agua Prieta.
Step by step, southbound
From Douglas, AZ, follow AZ-80/Pan American Ave south to the Douglas Port of Entry.
Cross the border into Agua Prieta; the road continues as Calzada Panamericana. Watch for the semáforo — a red light triggers a secondary inspection.
If you need an FMM tourist permit or vehicle import permit (TIP), pull into the Banjercito/INM office located within the same border facility complex — no need to drive further into town.
Continue south on Mexico Highway 2 or toward your destination once documentation is complete.
