Are you sure? I've owned Mexican plated cars in Jalisco and Nayarit and a Mexican DL definitely wasn't required.


I am also sure it is necessary. I just went thru it about a month ago. MEX plates...Mex License.. That is now the law. Last year that wasn't the law or at least it wasn't enforced.

I am in san jose del cabo. The guy I bought the truck from a month ago didn't have a mex license, however when we put the truck in my name i needed a DL. The cop said it was the law.

So it is the law in some municipalities or in some states?

Thinking about-it a law saying you have to have a Mexican DL to drive a Mexican plated vehicle would have to be a state law as they are the only ones that have the jurisdiction over this. A municipality shouldn't be able to over ride this but who knows in Mexico. It must vary from state to state. I wouldn't take a cop's word for it being necessary as they often don't know the law and often invent things to try and get a bribe.

Getting your Mexican DL is no big thing.. Take you US Lic and 300 paeos to the polica station with a 3/4" x 1 "photo and your done.. No test no questions.
