stantheman Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 There were some differences in the required details when I renewed my car tax in Chapala this week. The procedure is still the same - a queue of people and the sitting on the chairs when you get inside the building - but the information that I had to give when my turn came at the counter was not what has occurred before. Previously, you just handed over your old car tax document and then they issued you a new one. This year they wanted to see a passport or resident card, they wanted to know my curp number, email address, telephone number, cross streets where I lived and, would you believe, the color of our house (Caracteristicas del Domicillo). Then they printed out and gave me a 'CEDULA DE IDENTIFICATION FISCAL' paper with all these details on it. Strange!!??!! The cost this year of renewing is $522.00 (less $52.00 if you renew early) and $40.00 contribution to the Cruz Roja.. They open at 08:30 am. on Av. Degollado.

zerbit Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Supplying the color of your house info is not uncommon. We actually had a bank manager come to our house and take photos of the exterior of our house for files. The pictures were included in the copies we were given when the account was completed.

Al Berca Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Five of us usually pay our gardener to renew our car registrations. Sounds like this might be something we will have to discontinue. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 massive line way out the door..an officer was handing a piece of paper that has to be filled out prior to reaching the counter..It requires the following info...Full name of owner, license plate #, CURP #, RFC #, email address. Since I did not have some of the info handy I took a hike and drove to the Emissions test facility on Zaragoza, the street is open and the shop is open and NO LINE..test completed in 15 minutes..Now will try the license office in the afternoon next week..

TelsZ4 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Why not wait 3 or 4 weeks.. Then the line will be far shorter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canyon Wren Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 We bought a friend's used March at the end of October, transferring everything to our name and paying the fees at that time at the office in Chapala. The yearly taxes will be due this coming October right? I was just assuming so, but you know what they say about "assume." Better go check the paperwork.

dave0415 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 You will need to pay the plate fee Jan, Feb or March. The earlier you are the less it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you bought the vehicle has nothing to do with when you register, as stated above you need to do it in the first 3 months if you want a discount. I think if you do it later than May you are fined a higher fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 We went today. Given a piece of paper requesting your name, RFC#, CURP#, tag# and your email address. Waited one hour in line and one hour in the chairs. It is really slow because they have to enter all of this information in the system. Some people had several tags to do and were at the counter for almost an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Waiting and paying full price is beginning to sound like a good idea. Standing in line for two hours or more to save 52 pesos has no appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineyDay Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Will we need to notify them if we paint our house a different color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 House color, passport and visa are not required. There were about 60-70 people there and all had to fill out the paper with name, RFC#, CURP#, tag sticker# and email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 It is an I.D. number required to get a factura. My insurance agent got mine for me on line. (I don't know the web site). Contact your agent for help. RFC's are needed for other things and services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNo5 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Is all this information required this year for Mexican citizens as well?? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yes, curp and Rfc just like everyone else. Of course tag info. House color, cross streets and such was never requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguerin Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 If 2 names on the car, we should provide info for both or only the first name. My car is on my name and Y-O the other person. So it is one or the other. Hope my info will be sufficient. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also great notification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Sorry, I'm ROTFLMAO. I'm also in the either/or category except that my husband passed away in 2015. They seemed to be totally unconcerned about this when I told them and renewed last year... so why would they want an RFC # or a CURP # when they are both null and void in his case? Oh yeah...Solo en México. Makes me wonder if I should tote along the death certificate. Hijole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
