Tingting Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Call me a technodino (I am) or just clueless (ditto), but could someone please give a quick breakdown of what's needed to renew your driver's license? I tried the search button and even went to the otb, but the links didn't work and the info I did find was for a new license. Much TIA.

Fred Habacht Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I will share my experience.... 1st I needed a Cita (appointment) and I chose to go to the discount mall on the way to Guadalajara. The appointment was offered for 1 week later and at an early hour and I was offered an english speaking agent. 2nd I was told to pay for my renewal three days before my appointment and I chose to pay in Jocotepec at the government office on Matamoros Sud. They also inspected my paperwork and gave me a form stating all was in order and paid for. I am entitled to ½ off based on age and I received that reduced rate at that tijme and with zero comment. I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment and brought with me....a copy of the following, (some of it was not looked at or taken from me) My Cfe bill...within 90 days...was not taken but was viewed. My RFC...although it is already on my old license...was taken. My Curp...same as above. Blood type....already on my old license and copied to the new one, no paperwork provided nor asked for. The first page of my US passport....not looked at Copy of my "old Person card"...was taken (front and back). Copy of my citizenship voter's card...was taken. No eye test was offered or given and no notice of the need for glasses appears on my renewal They took the photo. Everyone polite, friendly and quick. 15 minutes later I left with my renewal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Thanks for the info about what's needed, but I'm hoping to do it here in Chapala. Having said that, I can also go to the mall. Could you please give me the link to make the appointment? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonhill Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Easy to do in Chapala, behind Cruz Roja just past the malecon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I didn't use a link...I was returning from Costco and just drove into the "mall" and requested the appointment.... as to Chapala vs the mall...it is faster, for me, to drive to the "mall" than to Chapala as I live in Jocotepec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Here is a copy of an original post on this topic from January. Hope it helps. Posted January 19 Here are the websites to make an appointment for the test for AUTOMOVILISTA NUEVA and get your docs. You need to make payment beforehand, and can do it at a bank…there’s a clave number that is printed on the wall of the motor vehicle place, along with the requirement and fee. You can also complete this form, which will generate the payment form you print and take to the bank. Adults 60+ with CURP and INAPAM get 50% discount. It is 50% discount of $792 (I believe 2022 is the same cost as 2021.) https://gobiernoenlinea1.jalisco.gob.mx/multiTramites/licencias Here is where you print your CURP (if you don’t have the newer 8 1/2 x 11 full-page format, which went into effect in Jan of 2020.) https://www.gob.mx/curp/ This is the website with the requirements; take original and photocopy of each of these: CURP, proof of address, payment receipt, blood type, official photo ID, permanente/temporal/INE. https://tramites.jalisco.gob.mx/tramite/8778 Once you fill out the page from the citas link below, it should open to the calendar so you can select your appointment date and time. The location is the small street just north of the Chapala yacht club, east of the malecón and where the Feria Maestros de Arte was held for several years. Go to that door, look to your left and there is a small street. The motor vehicles place is about 100 feet northwest; there is parking to the right. https://cias.jalisco.gob.mx/transporte/client/newAppointment?eiid=103&lid=13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexijims1 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Fred, you referred to having a copy of your "old person card". Was that your INAPAM card? If not, please explain what that was. Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 YES....the local Mexicans always say......."can I see your old person's card." So it is just the INAPAM card. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
