Traveling within Mexico while FM papers in process

[maryanram]

I know we can get a letter to leave the county in an emergency . .We are due to submit papers next week and were ask last night to go to the beach in late March.We will be driving.Should we get some kind of letter saying our papers are in process just in case we are stopped? Or just not worry?

Thanks in advance

We got a letter from our attorney stating we are in process. We also have a laminated copy of our FM2 to show that it is current and the letter showing we are in process of going permanente.

Safer to have a letter-----------but----------------- I have never been asked for my FM3, and I travel a lot in Mexico.

You need to carry on you at all times the form they give you with your NUT [Numero Unico de Tramite] to prove you are "Being processed " by the INM when in Mexico. It is your temporary INM document. Alan

In your case I would recommend getting a certified copy of your FM3 from a notary, cost is 50 pesos and then you will have a copy accepted as the original and the receipt showing it is in process as well.
