gringal Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Can anyone tell me where to get one? All I know is there are offices in Guadalajara... Thanks in advance. You can also go to the offices at Lake Chapala Society and sign up for the next time they have an INAPAM distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 LCS has no date for doing this and is not accepting applications yet. Please do not make a wasted trip based upon misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Can you not go to the office on Degollado in Chapala? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truebluegreen Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Apparently you cannot do INAPAM in Chapala any more , only DIF, and since I want to use the card elsewhere in Mexico (leaving soon) I need the national card. I'm told there are several offices in Guadalajara, walk in with your paperwork and walk out w/ your card. After a wait, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 There is a large information desk at the entrance of the Palacio Federal in Guadalajara. They will know which office you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 LCS has no date for doing this and is not accepting applications yet. Please do not make a wasted trip based upon misinformation. I think a telephone call to LCS would suffice to determine when they will again be doing that service. The fact that LCS does do this periodically is not misinformation and for those who don't already know that and don't want to make a trip to Guadalajara, it might be useful to know. Geesh.

A friend received an INAPAM card in Chapala a couple of months ago without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 LCS does not do this periodically. They did it once and it did not go as scheduled. My guess is that they are not anxious to attempt it again, so have no date to give you if you ask. Guadalajara is a beautiful city to visit, and the Palacio Federal is at 500 Alcalde, the same place many have visited for INM business when the Chapala office was in limbo.

Ellie Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 LCS has now done this twice - the second time went fairly smoothly and 233 INAPAM applications were processed. LCS does not itself determine the dates and has not yet been advised of the next time frame for receiving and then card return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadalajara is a beautiful city to visit, and the Palacio Federal is at 500 Alcalde, the same place many have visited for INM business when the Chapala office was in limbo. They have done it twice this year. I received mine earlier in the year and my husband received his a few months ago. The point here is about convenience, not the beauty of Guadalajara, si? RV.......I appreciate your continuing interest in the Lakeside area and we miss you, but it's difficult to keep up with current events here, from Arizona.

Mainecoons Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 A related question: Do INAPAN cards now have ones photo on it? I used mine at a site in Michoacan and was questioned about it because there is no photo on it. I got it 7 years ago here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 yes they do Thanks. I guess I'll wait until LCS does another round and get a new one. ISIL lab has never questioned mine. In fact, only one place did on the trip to Michoacan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Leonard Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I know that Chapala wasn't issuing Inapam cards for a long time but I went there about 4 weeks ago and they had them and I got mine in about 20 minutes. You have to bring proof of address, photos, copy of ID and you need to fill out a form but the lady did it right there on the spot. And I know people who went there after I did, so unless things have changed in the past 3 weeks I believe they are still issuing cards. It's the DIF building that is on Calle Degollado in Chapala, on the left hand side of the street about three blocks down from the main Avenida.

Arroyos Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 The last time I was in Joco I noticed an INAPAM office on the same street as the Mercado. Does anyone know if you can get them there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
