border crosser Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I just spoke with James Lewis of Lewis and Lewis Mexican Insurance. He assures me that as long as I have tourist tags on my vehicle (US or Canadian) and have a Tourist Policy with Lewis and Lewis that my insurance is still good in Mexico even though the TIP may be void when I become Permanente. He also stated that if the vehicle was nationalized the insurance is immediately null and void. My plan is to obtain the 5 day permit to take the vehicle out of Mexico after having the TIP removed. My wife and I are both on the title and she will FM3 for one more year. I would then return the vehicle to MX and obtain a new TIP in my wife's name. From what I think I understand I would then be legal to drive the vehicle. At least I hope so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telcoman Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ok i saw this and the rules have changed since 2013. I have a question, similar to the post above. If I have residente permanente and my wife does not, and she brings in a motorhome under a 10 year TIP, can i drive it if my name is also on the vehicle registration. With or without her inside. chances are she would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solajijic Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Chapala.com administrators - again, since it has been so long and so many changes since 2013 shouldn't you put a LOCK on threads older than 2 years. They would still be there for background info but it is so wrong to let items like this show up 5 or 6years after they are valid. It cannot be that hard to lock down a date every 4 months. I suggest June 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOTH names on the title and one is Permanente.... but if I were a betting man I'd bet that your wife's name better be the only one on the title, she being the legal Temporal one. As you know by now, in that case you can drive the MH legally even without her in the vehicle. Unless you find out otherwise with authority, I would not temp fate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Doesn't matter about names on the registration Whose name is on the import permit? If it is your wife's name, she is temporal, you as a permanante can drive under current rules. If it is in your name and you are permanente the vehicle is not legal and neither of you can drive it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
