Driver's License Posted by Kathy G on February 5, 2023, 9:41 am Who has gone to Cihuatlan to take the exam for getting a Mexico driver's license? What paperwork is required? Also, is the test passable without help?

I think they will use 10 of the questions. My Spanish is pretty limited. Even though I was one of the first people there they made me wait till last and then the examiner used his cell phone to translate the questions for me. Good luck

Re: Driver's License Posted by Erin on February 6, 2023, 7:39 am, in reply to "Re: Driver's License" What documents do I need to get a Mexican driver’s license? You’ll need originals and copies of the following documents to get a Mexican driver’s license: Immigration card Passport Proof of address In the case that your name is not on the proof of address (e.g. if your lease is in your spouse or friend’s name), you have two options. If the person is your spouse, then you can provide a marriage certificate. However, if they are your partner or friend, you’ll have to go to immigration or Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) with your bill in their name. That way, the INM can write a letter that states your address is actually yours. You’ll have to bring the letter and a copy of it, along with a bill from the property and a copy of it. Note that you will only be given one original letter, so hold onto it. Some expats have had their original letter from INM taken away during car registration. You can avoid the stress of this by only providing copies when needed and holding onto the original for proof.

Re: Driver's License Posted by Neal on February 6, 2023, 8:56 am, in reply to "Re: Driver's License" I took lots of copies and they weren’t accepted. Wrong color wrong size something. They made me go to the copy place on the street in front of the office and get some of them redone. Then later they sent me up the street towards the church to pay.
