FM 2 & 3 applications on line.
Filling out the Immigration Application On-Line
Only use Microsoft Internet Explorer for these instructions:
First before any thing else, turn OFF the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer by going to the "Tools.. Pop-up Blocker.. Turn Off Pop-up Blocker".
When you are done, turn the pop-up blocker back on.
1. Enter http://www.inm.gob.mx into the address line of Internet Explorer and press enter. When the page comes up a pop-up window will appear – DO NOT
CLOSE THIS WINDOW.
2. In the pop-up window you will see a line, "Click here- In order to learn more about the actions related to migratory facilitation. CLICK THIS LINE
WITH YOUR MOUSE.
3. When the page loads, click the top line that says: "Click here to view english information>>". Now the page will be translated into English.
4. For FM-3 holders and FM-2 Holders, click the link that says "Click here for such new forms>>" AFTER the line that says: "New migratory
procedure applications, that shall be downloaded from this web site and shall be previously filled and printed by all users' personal computer."
5. Now a Spanish page will come up, click the link that says: "Vivo en Mexico y quiero..." I live in Mexico and I want to…. This will bring up the
immigration form. The form will look a lot like the one we have filled out on paper, but I'll try to go through it.
6. "Que desea hacer?" What do you want to do? , I selected "Regularizar su situacion migratoria en Mexico ". or Continue your immigration status in
Mexico because I would be renewing my FM2.
7. The next line "Especifique" Specify is greyed out when you make the selection on step 6.
8. Now in the "Datos del extranjero (Conforme a Pasaporte o Documento de Identidad)" Data from abroad (Under Passport or ID) area, put in:
"Apillido" Last Name
"Nombre" First Name
"Fecha de nacimiento" Birth Date
"Sexo" Sex
"Estado civil actual" Current Marital Status
"Correo electronico" Email in the boxes.
Note: If your passport or ID shows BOTH your first name AND your middle name, you need to enter your first name and middle name in the "Nombre" area.
Only the boxes with an asterisk next to them are required. If you have a CURP number enter it.
9. Now in the "Lugar de nacimiento" Birthplace area enter:
"Pais" Country- for Americans it would be Estado Unidos de America
"Estado, Provincia o Departamento" State, Province or Department
"Nacionalidad actual" Present Nationality.
10. In the "Pasaporte o Documento con el que se identifica el extranjero" Passport or Document identifying the foreigner area enter:
"Documento de identificacion" Document used for ID
"Número de documento" Document number
"País de expedición" Country of Issue
"Fecha de expedición" Issue Date
"Fecha de vencimiento" Expiration Date,
11. In the "Domicilio del extranjero en México" Address of Foreigner in Mexico section enter:
"Calle" Street Name
"Número exterior" Exterior Number
"Colonia" Neighborhood- for Marina De La Paz this is "El Manglito"
"Estado" State
"Delegacion o municipio" City
"Codigo Postal" Zip Code.
12. Fill out the "En su caso, persona autorizada para tramitar, oir o recibir notificaciones" Where appropriate, a person authorized to process, hear
and receive notifications area, enter:
"Apellido(s)" Last Name
"Nombre(s)" First Name(s)
"Nacionalidad actual" Present Nationality
"Número de documento" Document number.
13. Click the "Agregar persona" Add Person button. Failure to do step 12-13 will cause the form not to be saved and no PDF file will be generated.
14. Click the "Guardar" button to save the request. A confirmation page will come up.
15. At the bottom of the page near "¿Es correcta la información capturada?" Is the captured information correct?, if the information is correct, click
the "Si" Yes button.
16 A dialog box will come up that says "su solicitud ha sido registrada con el numero de pieza 00000000032632 imprima el formato" your application has
been registered with the part number 00000000032632 print format. Note: The number you get will be different.
17. After you click "OK" on the dialog box, a PDF file will be generated and you must print this file out to take to immigration. I would also save a
copy on your local computer.
18. The number in step 16 is what you take to immigration along with the printed form for the next step. The number generated is also printed on the
form that is generated. The information that you have provided is saved in their computer system for 90 days after which time it is deleted.
19. When going to immigration, take with you besides the application form that you have printed out – 1. 5 New Photos in color, 3 frontal and 2
profile infantil-size, 2. Your current FM3 or FM2 booklet, 3. A copy of your passport.
20. This being so new, I am sure that there are other items that you need to take that I have not listed but this is a start.
These instructions were written by Al Winn on the M/V Oso Negro in the hopes that they will help those of you who may be trying to navigate the new
procedures for obtaining a FM2 or FM3.
If there are any errors in these instructions please contact me right away at osonegro@mvosonegro.com and I will make the needed changes.

Regarding the photos, we were told that they need to have a white background and the profile needs to be a right profile.
By the time we have all done this and have it all figured out, do you think they will change it all?
