Curp in Mulege

Slang for Baja. Or more correctly, Cachanilla is slang for soneone from Baja.
I gotta admit, however, that I think I have heard it used once.

In this case I believe that Bob/Susan are referring to Santa Rosalia.
It's a local thing and I'm sure there is a story there.
As far as the CURP goes I always forget if it's the "old man's" card, the medical card or the residence card ??

Curp is an ID number
used to identify you to the government
if you have an fm visa you now have one

I have a CURP but it was totally separate from my FM and I had to go to the town hall in SR to get it.

Man, the odd guy misses again. CURP card is issued at Santa Rosalia (Cachania, to all of the locals), and is at the Palacio building across from the
El Muelle restaurant, at the outside opening door at the far right front of the bulding. They wanted the original version of your FM2/3, a letter
attesting to residence from your Delegado, Passport, and a copy of your latest electric bill. It is not an old age card or Senior Discount card, but
an ID card. You already have a CURP number if you have an FM2/3, but if you do anything like apply for Seguros Popular you will need an actual CURP
card.

I lost here. Why would it be stepping on toes?
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Ummm. What I meant to say was I wanted to work locally in case there are some jurisdictional issues. Does not make sense that there would be, but
this is Mexico.

I read somewhere that a CURP is required now for FM3 renewal (mine is due soon). I see no number on my FM3 which could correspond to that number.
Also since one is required for a cell phone or hiring labor, I figured to just do it.

What if one prefers to be known by his name? It's kinda deflating to be reduced to a number.....like a prisoner or something like that.
Can one choose his/her own number? That would help self-esteem a lot....like Lee Marvin in that movie, "King of the North" or something like that. He
was called "A-Number 1." That sounds pretty cool.
I can hear it now...."A-Numero Uno....A-Numero Uno" being called out in a government office.
Ohhhh wellll.......
