Starlady Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I hear about the car dilemma for permantes. Does anyone know the requirements for a four year temporary status? We have a 2004 toyota, NAFTA built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 You should have no problem, Temporal remains the same as FM3 and can drive NOB plated cars with the proper TIP, only the Permanante are required to drive MX plated cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as I understand it. I am Permanente and my wife stayed Temporal for one more year. We have a new TIP on the car in her name and as her spouce I can legally drive it.

Mainecoons Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 so do you have to keep your registration sticker, ie plates, up to date in your home state or province in order to drive im mexico? Generally no but doing so makes it easy to drive NOB. This is why a lot of people switched their plates to SD, it is very easy and cheap to keep them current.

lakeside101 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 many home states require insurance and inspection..... many folks never intend to drive to the states and let them expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solajijic Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Who do you guys have insurance with? My agent requires my vehicle to be registered for my Mexican coverage to be valid. Just like he requires me to have a valid drivers license my car must be licensed to be on the road. Why would you risk have a claim denied.

San Xavier does not care. Annual plate renewal is simply a tax by a state or province and does not affect who is the owner. And for Canadians registration and annual renewal is all one piece of wallet size paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
