When you travel beyond the border zone or permit-free areas (such as Sonora or Baja California), you need an essential document: the Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit, issued by Banjercito, the authorized agency for this process.
What is the vehicle importation permit?
It is a temporary permit that allows foreign citizens or Mexicans residing abroad to bring a foreign vehicle into Mexico for a limited time, usually up to 180 days.
What documents do you need?
-
Valid passport (or consular ID card if you are a Mexican abroad)
-
Valid driver’s license
-
Vehicle title or registration
-
Valid Mexican insurance (we offer this)
-
Credit or debit card to pay for the process
How can you obtain it?
You have two options:
-
Online, through the Banjercito website.
-
In person, at a Banjercito module (border or consulate).
