I uasually get my FMT and temp auto permit to drive to Mazatlan after crossing in Lukeville AZ. but I am thinking about driving down Baja to La Paz and taking the ferry to Maz. in Oct.`10...Is there an office to get the temp auto permit in La Paz? Years ago I did the Cabo -PV ferry and did all auto permits in Cabo, hope it is the same in La Paz.....

bajagrouper.......You can get the temporary import permit at the ferry terminal in La Paz. In fact, the office is open seven days a week. It is located immediately to the right of the passenger entrance to the ferry terminal. I recently visited the office to get a temporary import permit for my boat. It was quick and easy and cost about $49 US as opposed to the $300, or so, charged by the helpful immigration staff in Loreto.

But remember, you must return the permit at the border. La Paz won't take it back.

I returned mine in Santa Rosalia a few years ago.
