Bajabrady Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Does anyone have experience getting a letter from the Chapala courthouse to serve as proof of address if no utilities are in the renters name? Some official document with lots of official stamps and embossing? To use in place of a lease and utility bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Not the courthouse. It is a comprobante de domicilio obtainable at the palacio municipal in Chapala. Second floor, I think, but you can ask at the information desk, or upstairs. Take a copy of your lease or rent receipt, your passport and INM document, or maybe even a copy of the landlords ID and/or CFE or Telmex bill.

bontepar Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 You can easily put your telmex bill in your name, you can do it on online without the landlord permit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Usually the places that want your proof of address don't care if the bill is in your name, only that it's your address. I think they figure that if you have access to the bill, you must live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 A copy of your lease and a utility bill for that address is accepted. It does not matter whose name is on the bill. I used that for everything, including getting a Mexican drivers license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it could be done, a homeowner may object as it could spell capital gains upon sale if the CFE bills are not in the owners's name. If a tenant wants the bill in their name, they should ask the owner and not be surprised if the answer is, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el bartman Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 What Yo1 says is what I believe to be right. I would add to that the requirement to bring a copy of your lease which shows the address and yours as a tenant; then the CFE or Telmex bill confirms the address. That chain should bring you success.

I hooked the Telmex unit to the telephone line (there is a small filter which must be installed too - supplied by Telmex), run an ethernet cable to a powerful, more up to date (security wise) WI-FI router, then turned the Telemex WI-FI off. If you get stuck, you can call Telmex customer support in Mexico City and ask for an English speaking technician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Bizco Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Regarding a Constancia de Residencia to use as proof of address, I have done this 4 times in Jocotepec at the Palacio. In addition to 2 infantil size fotos, I had to produce a utility bill for the address, my visa, my Jalisco driver license, and my passport-- all with copies. You can save time by going to the hacienda first and paying for the C. de R. ($35) and submitting the receipt with the other stuff. There are several places there on the plaza that make the infantil fotos ($50) in a few minutes. Upstairs, first office on the left. Señorita Christina.

hensley Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Ok so we have to renew our drivers license this year and I just realized that a well known lawyer here drew up our rental lease and did not put my name on it, so I have absolutely nothing with my name on it to prove residence, any ideas on what I can do?

El Bizco Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Constancia de Residencia that I described above will work. I helped my neighbor get one for his driver license renewal and he said it was gladly accepted. And I used one for my renewal. The whole process of getting the fotos, paying, and getting the Constancia made maybe sounds onerous but is quick-- usually a half hour, 45 minutes in Joco.
