MEXLC Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 For those who have purchased & tagged a car NOB successfully, with a Mexican Drivers Licence: Has anyone been able to temporary tag that purchase? I know that the 10 year sticker (RV) will be applied at the border (I am temporal). I am only concerned about the Mexican Drivers License having qualified you with a notary NOB for temp tags. (Permanent tags will be brought down by later) Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 If you are permanente you can't have a foreign car in Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgates Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 NOB, nobody cares if you have a driver's license in a car purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will they care if I have one (and is a Mexican one fine) for those temporary tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have bought more than several cars in Washington state and no one has asked to see a driver's license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEXLC Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Tom, Did you buy and then temporary tag these vehicles without having to produce a license? If so were those plates Washington State? Wondering if the state rules differ... our tagging state would be South Dakota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEXLC Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yes, we know that! 10 years will apply to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Based on my past experience with South Dakota, they DO require a copy of one’s driver’s license as part of the ‘package’ required for title/plates. I have no idea whether they will accept Mexican driver’s licenses but a quick call to Clay County will answer that question for you. I’ve never asked them for temp plates as they (Clay County at least) provide plates and Registration in the mail within a week. Title, which comes out of the State, is taking 4-6 weeks to deliver these days. Keep in mind that some are saying that in order to get a TIP, Mexico is requiring a Title and not just a Registration.... at least at some border locations. The TIP is available online; maybe a Registration is sufficient there. Since I’ve never acquired a 10-year RV TIP, I am not sure that this can be done online.

MEXLC Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Update: A Mexican drivers license is adequate to obtain tags from South Dakota MVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
