If you’re thinking about bringing your car to Mexico permanently (by registering it with the Mexican government), it’s good to know that this process can vary across the country. Here are some tips and key points to keep you well-informed about vehicle registration and importation:
- If you’re planning to move to Mexico, you might find it easier to sell your current car and buy a new one once you’ve settled in as a resident. Vehicle registration and importation in Mexico can be tricky and expensive.
- There are strict criteria for nationalizing vehicles, and your car might not meet these rigorous standards.
- Mexico requires that any vehicle staying in the country for more than 180 days must be legally imported and registered in the state of residence.
- You’re only allowed to import one car per year unless you’re registered in the Importers Registry.
- Mexican Customs does not allow permanent residents to drive cars with foreign plates. Although this law isn’t always strictly enforced, it’s important to know that after 180 days, it’s illegal to drive a car with foreign plates if you’re a permanent resident in Mexico. Local police might not enforce this law, but federal authorities can confiscate the car.
- If you import a vehicle to Mexico or buy one within the country and want to drive it without worries, you need to register it, get plates, and renew the necessary tags or stickers annually.
