berkeleyboy Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 We just moved and want to change our address in our visa file with Mexican Government immigration office. How much does it cost? Can we do it in Chapala? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joco Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Go to the Chapala office and it is free within 90 days(I think). Go sooner in case it isn't 90. It gets expensive if you change the address late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonia Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 You have 90 days. And while it may be difficult for INM to know if they do, there is a fine. I just reported a divorce for a client and he was divorced in 2012 and the fine was 2804 pesos. INM does not charge for a status change. There are on-line forms and a letter required plus present passport and visa. No photos required. If one changes address and has an utility bill in their name INM can call the service provider and ask. Or INM asks for copy of lease or contacts landlord etc, they can confirm when address changed if they really were so inclined. saludos Sonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frijoles Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 How does INM confirm the date of an address change? When we did it we had to write a letter and state "bajo protesta de decir la verdad" that we moved on such-and-such a date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 We had Spencer's office file the paperwork with INM when we moved after receiving our Perm.. Had to supply some documentation, ie., electric bill,maybe copy of deed..Actually easy as it was all done by his staff online... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berkeleyboy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 We have permenentes and just changed our address and recorded it at Immigration in Chapala. To start the process, one must complete a rather complicated on-line form at inm.gob.mex. Click on "Solicitud de Estancia". Then you get a rather long questionnaire, which starts with: ¿Qué DESEA HACER? We then selected: "Notificar cambios (reseidentes temporales y permanents)" For "Especifique" we selected "Notificar de cambio de domicilio". You will need to provide a CURP number. It took us a couple days to get the form completed successfully. Then you print the form and take it to Immigration in Chapala along with your permenente, passport and new address [on TELMEX or CFE bill]. [They showed no interest in when we moved to this address.] Theoretically the process can be done in one day, but it took us three trips to Immigration. Day one we learned that the on-line form had to be completed. Day two, we completed the process for me, but they said I had to redo my spouses on-line form because I made a mistake. Day three: I completed the process for my spouse. For us it was a tedious process and it made us wonder what would have happened if we had not bothered and left our old address (four blocks away) in their system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkeleyboy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 To change address, you need to bring the completed on-line form as well as the ORIGINALS AND COPIES of your passport, permenente and new address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Happy to hear they didn't much care about "when moved" since I'm almost seven months late doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they ask for the $1124 pesos processing fee or was it another fee or free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 A dumb newbie question. We are considering moving to Mexico, and will apply for a Residente Permanente from outside of Mexico. At that point we will not have an address in Mexico. Is that allowed? ie do we leave our address blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the SRE, Mexican Consulate form you complete and take to your interview at a Mexican consulate and the address they want is your current address in the country you are applying in. Once you are preapproved and take your needed paperwork to your local INM office in Mexico an address might be needed but I have read even a hotel will be OK at that point. Don´t worry about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanMexicali Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 When you get a new passport, with a different number, do you have to report that? Google Translation: "About notification of updates: If you hold the status of temporary resident or permanent resident, you must notify the Institute [iNM] within ninety calendar days of the occurrence, changes in marital status, nationality, address or workplace." http://www.inm.gob.mx/index.php/page/usuarios Appears they only require the above changes that you need to update with them.

I am lazy like you. It is worth 500 pesos to me not to go through what Berkeleyboy did. I’m too old and cranky for that nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
