Let us know how the Mex DL goes. Do they offer bilingual applications? What do you need to get a Mex DL? Written test? Driving test?
I believe non-citizens up here in the USA can get a DL in most states.

Drivers License Requirements BCS;
1. Blood Test (blood type shown on the DL)
2. 700/800 pesos, maybe more now, it's been a while
3. Proof of physical address, a CURP is best
Fill out the form, pay the fees, submit the blood type, no exam, no driving test, nothing.

It must be sort of a "Darwinian" test, evidenced by all the white crosses along the highways.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

When I imported my Tacoma I paid an extra $50usd to have National plates, it can be driven anywhere on mainland, my Jeep has frontera plates, I would
need to bond it if I took it to mainland, since then I have driven all around US western states and even onto military bases without an issue.
As far as vehicle registration in San Jose del Cabo my experience was if you went to the transito for registrations they only accept a limited amount
of people each day and people line up early to get a number for the day since covid, and they only let you do one vehicle at a time since they want to
do the mechanical inspection also, sometimes you can just pay the fee without a revision, but sometimes they get too greedy, it is a major pain and
time consuming.
For the last few years I have been using a guy that deals with people’s vehicle paperwork, he also handles all the vehicle transactions for a few of
the auto dealerships here, he drives daily to a nearby smaller transito and usually handles everything in 24 hours, the best part is for renewals I
just screenshot my tarjeta de circulation and my license and the next day he delivers my new paperwork, he generally charges double what the fees
normally would be, his fee is generally around $60-$70 usd per vehicle total, and the mechanical revisions are taking care of also, it’s well worth
the money to me for all the time saved standing in lines for days since I have multiple vehicles, I was also able to plate 2 dirt bikes without any
issues, they don’t really need to be plated here but it’s just for piece of mind if we ever got stopped going thru town to go ride, we carry the
plates in our backpacks.
I was told they were taking appointments at the transito for a drivers license, but the appointments are 3-4 months out. I had a friend tell me to
look online and found a government site that let me start the license renewal process, took 15 min, I was able to enter all my info, pay, and make an
appointment for 3 days later at the Pedrin building that also handles all the city’s permits, but you have to go the the transito first a few km
away to have them give you a clearance that shows you have no outstanding infractions tied to your license, it must be done within 24 hours of your
license appointment, then at the Pedrin building you sign in and somebody will process your information and take your photo and you leave with your
new license.

No photo, or some proof of ID? Can you post up a picture of a MX license, as much as you feel safe?

Photo ID? Yep, forgot that, government issued, I presented my IFE the last renewal. INAPAM, Residencia, or Passport should work.
Post a photo of my license, phat chance.
