Original Docs

Hola
When I drive down in 3 weeks what documents should I bring originals of? Do the Car title, registration need to be originals? What about birth certificates etc?
Thanks in advance!

Will you be applying for any visa's beyond the FMT (tourist visa)? How long are you staying?

You'll need the original and copies of your car registration and proof of Mexican insurance. It's a good idea to have an Apostilled copy of your birth certificate. If you're married have an Apostilled copy of your marriage certificate.

original title also?

You should have it with you. I don't think you need it to get the Importada Temporal.

As with many things related to the Mexican Government regulations, the vehicle import requirements tend to vary by location. While I have heard that the Mexican Consulates and just now confirmed at the Albuquerque Mexican Consulate website, that Consulates no long issue permits for foreigners. The one time that we did the permit paperwork at the border, they asked for the title or a letter from the lien holder. You can still apply online: http://www.banjercito.com.mx/site/siteBanjer/Bicentenario/index.jsp?hd_ligaContenido=English/menu_english.html

Americans needs apostilles of their original birth and marriage documeents, Canadians certifications from the Mexican consulate in Canada.

Applying for a car permit they will want to see original valid registration and if not the title, driver license, passport and immigration document, i.e. FMT, FM2, FM3, etc.
