deanne Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Can I drive a foreign plated car with a Residente Temporal? Mine expires in 2016 and I have Hyundai made in Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Ronnfeldt Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yes, as long as your temporal is current and valid. When and if you have to go permanente, then it's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowyco Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yes, as long as you notified Aduana (in writing) of your new or renewed Residente Temporal, including notifying Aduana of the expiration date of your Residente Temporal, so Aduana can change their records for your new expiration date on your Permiso de Importacion Temporal (TIP) for your car to match the expiration date on your INM permit. Aduana gives you a letter for you to carry in the car, to show to police and militars at retenes, documenting the extension of your current (updated) expiration date on your car TIP. Do you have this letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Miller Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I am residente permanente but my NAFTA car is, apparently, not eligible for nationalization or importation until November of this year (it is a 2009). My intention is to act on it as soon as the vehicle becomes eligible but in the meantime can I get a letter to explain my intentions? I am happy to oblige if only Mexico would give me the means to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Your intentions are of no interest to Aduana. If you are permanente, your foreign plated car is illegal to drive here, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have this letter? YIKE. I don´t have that. At one point, I did send a notice in, but never heard back, so either they never got it or something happened somewhere. So, I suppose I´ve been lucky these last few years driving without that update. Time to get mexican plates anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Aduana stopped issuing letters a couple of years ago. Maybe they started again? Spencer's office will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 You know this board divides into two completely different Mexicos. One is dystopic vision of petty bureaucracy, like a Soviet era Eastern Europe country, where everyone dreads the phrase "Zer ees an irregularity with your paperwork, please follow me". A world of apparatchiks, which collapsed under it's own weight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparatchik. The other Mexico is a state of almost complete lawlessness - only one third of drivers in Jalisco have auto insurance (and who knows how many of them hold just enough to meet the legal minimum), less than 1 out of 4 are renewing their smog inspections, INM immigration in Jalisco has fired 70 people since last June for corruption, millions of foreign plated vehicle driven daily with impunity by Mexicans. Where everybody dreads the phrase, "I can save you the trouble of paying the fine downtown". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
