Most cc require a recognized US telephone number to validate the new card by phone; some permit validation online, but since you reported a hack it seems reasonable that they would deactivate online access. Maybe the is the issue in Sandrita's case? I agree, phone on Monday am.

Little holes all over or just in one spot, like the waist area? Seriously, several of us have discussed holes appearing in the bellybutton area--and we never experienced this NOB. Always in this spot only, We've looked unsuccessfully at sharp edges in countertops, washer, dryer, iron and ironing board. Changing detergents. We all have water purification systems. Looking online, many articles point to belts, jeans rubbing seems to be the primary culprit. (That doesn't explain sleepwear.) Countless articles point to cheaper fabrics being used in garments and rubbing against buttons at the waist. It's annoying as heck.

The system automatically changed my account from IAVE, to I+D México and now PASE. It works for all those tolls that have changed over as well; some of the new tolls aren't yet on the system either (and new toll booths come and go and toll rates increase in some random order). Generally, the system seems to work better every time we use it.

Every year. You can renew by phone with a credit card, but they send the physical registration renewal and updated stickers for your license plates to your US address on file, which they confirm when you renew. And you do need a SS#--that's how your registration is filed in their computer system.

Skip's is on Av. Patria in Guadalajara. They have a FB page.

Although they vary each time due to increases and additions/closings of some toll booths, our tolls are about $1500 for a car. Motorcycles, motorhomes, buses, trucks are different. We also have a toll tag but, unlike the US, there's no discount on the tolls for using the tag.

Not all unknown callers are scammers: currently, the phone companies are leaving recorded messages to notify their customers of the dialing changeover that takes over Mexico-wide on August 3. I guess we will be re-inputting our contacts in landlines and cells.

Starting July 25 and over the next two months, the LD channels are migrating to HD. Some channels (eg. Slice) just abruptly left. Darn! This site won't accept an xlxs file format or I"d post all 14 pages of the spreadsheet.

Thank you both!

We considering switching from Telmex to Ilox. Not keeping both, but making the switch, which requires giving up our Telmex landline for the ILOX VOIP. Has anyone done so and successfully transferred their Telmex phone number to their ILOX phone? Or must one get a new phone number from Ilox? I've heard keeping the same number is possible, but would like to confirm with someone who has done this successfully since having to acquire a new number would be a factor in the decision.

The city is installing colored pedestrian crossings that supposedly will stand out more than the lines that are painted and deteriorate quickly. With the eco event being held this weekend, the malecón traffic surely will be tied up. Gobierno de Chapala May 29 at 12:35 PM · 🚧🚜🚸El tramo de la Av. Madero esquina Ramón Corona a la altura del restaurante Cazadores, se encuentra cerrada a la circulación debido a que el personal de Obras Públicas está trabajando en la creación de cruces peatonales con estampado en cemento. Utiliza vías alternas. Agradecemos tu comprensión por las molestias que esto pueda ocasionar. #GobiernoDeLaGente

The pump is still out of service. The municipality last week indicated that it may be mid-week at earliest to resume service. And they indeed will proceed by providing less flow than typical to service all their customers. Our neighborhood has been ordering pipas since mid-last week.

The bar code will be different; if returning to Guadalajara by air, the agent will make you complete another form and you may get a lecture or have to pay a fine for its replacement. Other arrival cities may be different and land crossings are different again.

Tejuino...you either love it or you don't. I personally think it's the best drink EVER, especially on days like today. Only problem is that with the ciclopista prohibiting any parking in front of Arrañaga on the carretera, it's a PITA to park. Theirs are terrific, by the way.

The date of this article is 2015; in 2019 we have a new administration, new laws going into effect. All the Mexican sources I am trying to follow show that there is a pilot program going on now, that multiple employers of a single domestic will share proportionately in the expenses incurred in registering that person for their Seguro Social benefits. Some sources say that the expense will be divided among the employer, the employee, and the government; others do not give this clarification. It will all shake out soon.

Does anyone have any positive recommendations for someone to come out and service our Mirage minisplit ac/-heat? It's a few years old and I'm thinking it's time to get it checked although it seems to be functioning properly. TIA!

"Chofer" does mean "driver" but a Jalisco driver license for a car says "automovilista." For a pickup under 3000 kg or an auto up to 15 passengers, one applies for a "chofer" designation; the categories of driver licenses are: Modalidad: Chofer, automovilista, motociclista, permiso de menor, conductor de servicio de transporte público

I needed the new one for my passport.

I printed mine online.

Congrats. Just now seeing this. Did you get clarity on my posting of INE and printing the updated CURP (it has a colored Mexican flag on it)?

This happens frequently at Laredo (but not at Colombia, in my experience.) The agent (and supervisor) told me that at that location their bar-coded numbers on the FMMs are tracked so they could not use the FMM form I had completed in advance since the number would not mesh with the sequence of numbers they were given. I just copied the info to the new form, destroyed the first one, and they let me go to the front of the line when I had completed the copying. And yes, land border crossing officials appear less familiar with RP and RT holders, whose process for in and out registrations essentially is the reverse of tourists: almost always a supervisor to help the agent. (PS: the correct computer code is "8")

You must pick it up in person and sign and sign and thumbprint; there's an oath to read and sign reiterating your allegiance to Mexico while on Mexican soil. Another recommendation: after you get your document and your passport (both) , apply for certified copies of your naturalization document. You pay at the bank before submitting the application ($20 each) but your naturalization papers cannot be notarized by a notario, as you do other papers (license, etc.)--only by SRE. This way, you can have multiples in different places for security. It is a booger, I'm told, to try to replace the original and my attorney suggested getting multiple copies. It takes about 3 weeks. You can have them mailed or give someone (like your attorney) power of attorney to pick them up if you don't want yet another trip to Guadalajara for this reason. And your INE application takes about 3 weeks: they'll give you a pick-up date.

It took me from late November 's issuance till mid-January. Of course, Christmas holidays affected this but the diplomatic pouch my document was in got "misdirected" from CDMX to Guadalajara; once located it had a typo in my last name; for efficacy, we chose to fly back to CDMX to get it.. AND, note, the standard waiting time to get your passport is about 4-6 weeks after you have your doc in hand. New 2019 rules are that the issuing passport office must confirm with CDMX the authenticity of your naturalization paper...yep, the one they, themselves, just issued. And you must have an appointment through the online scheduler. AND, when you go for your INE: none of the emails you will get telling you which documents to bring will include that you need your CURP....the NEW printout that has the colored Mexican flag on it, not the one you've had since Day 1. Glad I took everything with me, anticipating this. No copies needed, by the way....they scanned it all.

I went (twice) with my attorney to get the required documents; it's my understanding that the admin flip-flops between allowing someone with your power of attorney to get that document for you and requiring your physical presence. A local "antecedentes no penales" was also required; I went to Chapala for that; the fee was minimal, something like $108mx, if I remember correctly from last summer.

I took the test in July and, being over 60, only had to take the language exam.
