Arroyos 116 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 My Canadian license expires in May of this year, so I must get a Mexican license. Does anyone know of someone who provides you with the service of taking you to GDL to get the license. I will have to bone up on the questions in the booklet that I picked up last year, but think I can handle the questions. Hope I don't have to take the parallel parking test, as I have not tried to parallel park in years. All comments appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bournemouth 588 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Contact Luzma Grande, Ajijic Concierge - 333 452 1670. Nobody better, in my book, at taking you for the test and getting you through. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ferret 3,002 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Totally agree Bournemouth! You may have to wait though until the gas situation is resolved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WideSky 365 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 We got our Jalisco licenses in Feb of 2017; 10 multiple choice questions in english (mostly signs/pics) Luzma provides a study sheet; if your current license has not expired no driving was required; each type requires different physical license - car, truck/chauffeur here, motorcycle (and separate costs for each); over 60 licensees were 1/2 price; and Luzma asks if you can jump the que, especially if you are over 60. Luzma will also tell you what you need, # of copies and will prevet them before you leave. If you think lines for gasoline are long, you ain't seen nothing. Now some of this may have changed with the new government but for the most part it should be good .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All ten test questions pertained to identifying road signs. A painless and fast process all in all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeb 465 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I want to make sure I am understanding about the driving test. I am not asking about the written one. The driving test is not required if you have a current license from anywhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johanson 1,004 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I know that this was true many years ago, when I applied for and received my first Mexican drivers license . I do not know about today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johanson 1,004 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Of course you do Zeb. I am hoping for your case that someone will know. I am betting though, that there have been no changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does anybody know if one can get a MX drivers license on a tourist visa...? This is from the google translate version of the Jalisco site. While the terminology is out of date, the implication is that you need either a Temporal (formerly known as an FM3) or a Permanente (formerly known as an FM2). Official identification Type of document: Official identification with photograph Presentation: Original and copy Description of the document: Official identification with valid photograph: INE, IFE, professional ID, passport, military card. In case of being a foreigner (not nationalized), passport and FM2 or FM3. In case of being a foreigner (nationalized) IFE or INE, Mexican passport, consular registration or letter of naturalization.
