MoAndMoose Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 We're crossing the border from Nogales AZ to Nogales MX this coming Sunday morning. We have our car registration with us, but not our title. We're getting wildly different answers: some say registration is all you need at the border crossing; others say, No, you have to have the title to the car. Others say Don't have the car title original with you, because if a border guard takes it from you, it's proof of ownership and anyone possessing it becomes the owner of the car. Help! We'd like to know from people who've done this crossing -- do we need the title, or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercasa Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Well... The HUGE issue is that while you can technically get a TIP with the vehicle registration, without the title your car will sit in impound if towed due to improper parking or accident. ” “… Financed cars should get a US notary certified copy (of the title) with apostille to prepare for this eventuality. ” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 The bottom line is ... It is much better to have the title.. With registration you may get the TIP and you may not.. All depends on the agent. With the title you know you won't have any issues.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarplumfaerie Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I crossed at Nogales in July of this year and was required to have both the title and registration for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of the inconsistency when crossing the border.. It's better to have all your i's dotted and your t's crossed when your at the border...
