Jalisco State Driver's License / can anyone obtain one?

You are right, Cheena. The states with which I am familiar give you 30 days after moving in from another state to re-register your car and get a new drivers license.

Hell yes - they want the revenue!

I understand from reading another post somewhere else that if you have even an expired Mexican license from another state(Sinaloa) that you can just apply & you will be issued a new Jalisco DL. Does anyone know if this is true? Maybe Spencer?

Supposedly you need to take the written test in that circumstance and vision test but not the driving test.

Thanks Spencer.

Well put.

Hi Bob, My husband's Colorado driver's license expires in a few weeks and can not be renewed online thru the DMV in Colorado. Therefore he must obtain a Mex. DL. Last month Pedro posted that the office in Chapala can not issue these. Do you know whether that is true? Our vehicle would probably not make it to Guadalajara but we could hire a driver I suppose.

Thank you,

PS - Congrats on the website!

They are currently not issuing driver's licences in Chapala so you must go to either the office in Ocatland or Guadalajara.

Thank you Canmex.

How soon after buying a new car here do I need to get a Mexican Driver's License , Have a Permanent Visa. Thanks in advance.
