Yes, you can bring your US plated-vehicle into Mexico but there are some important rules to know ...

For importation you will need:
  • Title for the vehicle or a letter from your creditor indicating you have permission to bring it into Mexico
  • Temporary Vehicle Import Permit (TIP) - you can now apply online Banjercito Website

    • Tourist Visas - Vehicle must be removed from the country after 6 months  
    • Temporary Residents - Vehicle can remain in Mexico after expiration if Visa is renewed.
    • Tourist visa converted to temporary resident - The car doesn’t have to be removed from Mexico, you only need to notify customs within 15 days of your change of immigration status.
    • Trailers & Motorhomes - Permits for trailers & motorhomes are good for 10 years regardless of your Visa length.
    • Off-road Vehicles, Off-road Dirt Bikes & Watercrafts - You can bring up to three vehicles in this category under the same TIP as your car. Note a street-legal motorcycle is considered the same as a car and must
    • Registration Payment - Pay for TIP registration at Banjercito online or in person using an international credit card. You will be provided with a special sticker which allows the car to be legally driven in Mexico.

    • If you do not remove your vehicle from Mexico before your permit expires, you will be subject to penalties and your car can be confiscated!
  • Nationalizing Your Vehicle. If you are entering Mexico as a Permanent Resident, you may not bring a foreign plated car into Mexico on a TIP. Instead, you must nationalize the car. Nationalizing the vehicle gives you permission to keep it in the country indefinitely. 
    • Permit required from the Secretary of Economy
    • Only vehicles manufactured in North America (Mexico, US or Canada) can be nationalized in Mexico
      • Vehicles manufactured in North America which are exactly 10 years old (from date of import) do not need a permit!

Mexico's Free Zone
If your vehicle will stay in the Baja Peninsula then you won't need a permit. Learn more about the "Free Zone" in this great article by www.mexpro.com to see if this applies to you.

We receive a lot of questions regarding rules when importing motorcycles. Here’s some quick reference on what’s allowed:

  • A street-legal full sized Motorcycle is considered a vehicle and not a recreation vehicle by Mexican customs and therefore must follow the same import rules as cars.
  • Only one street vehicle is allowed for import into Mexico by person.
  • Motorcycles require a TIP for import.
    • Applying for a Temporary Vehicle Import Permit (TIP) 
      • ONLINE: You can apply online here up to 6 months in advance but no shorter than 10 days in advance. We strongly recommend obtain the TIP at least 2 months in advance of your move because processing can be delayed and the permit will be mailed to your home.
      • AT THE BORDER: You can obtain the TIP at the border however the person who is listed on the title of the motorcycle must be present to request and receive it. Only an immediate family member (Spouse, Parent, Child) can request it on the owner’s behalf. You will need documentation (original and spanish translated copy) of the proof of relationship (birth or marriage certificate), the title and registration.
  • Motorcycles can be imported by a shipper/mover without your presence at the border as long as the TIP is obtained prior to the move.
  • You may import as many motorcycles as you’d like as long as you have a TIP for each one in different names. For example, if you want to import 4 motorcycles and you don’t have a TIP for any other vehicle in your name you can obtain (1) a TIP in your name, (2) a TIP in your Spouses name, (3) a Tip in a child’s name, (4) a TIP in a parent’s name.
We request that you book at least 4-6 weeks in advance of your move in order to secure your desired date range and to properly plan your trip.
We accept payments in the following methods
  • Bank Wire Transfer
  • US Check
  • Cash Pesos or Dollars
