Went to get a Mexican drivers lic in Santa Rosalia and was informed that since I am over 70 I need a Certificate of Health. I live in Mulege and not
to sure what this is and where to get it and does it involve.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ohhh yeah. I qualify. Why do you want a Mex license? Do you drive Mex plated cars?

Go see the doc in the box at Similares. Thirty pesos in La Paz.

Renewed mine in Loreto last year, not papers needed. Perhaps a renewal is different. I was over 70 at the time.

I don't know anything about how to get a Mexican license, but as for why, I seem to remember a Nomad saying he would need one to take his Mexican
plated VW truck into the US.
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!

I am very interested in learning how to get my MX national girlfriend a US CA driver's license. She is legal to cross with a BCC (Border Crossing
Card) and she has an I-94 tourist visa permit. Her mother holds US Permanent Resident status with an address in Chula Vista.
The new CA law makes this legal but I'm not sure what visa status is required.
When we drive to San Francisco or other locations I'd like her to be able to take the wheel.

The general rule in the US is that a driver's license can only be issued to a temporary resident or visitor for the duration of their permitted stay.
In other words, until the end of the validity of her I-94 entry permit (usually 6 months, each time it is issued). Even then they'll be reluctant to
do it, and it's impractical to keep getting a new one (the rule is designed more for students, staying several years). Is there a new California law
which is different?
Instead she can, like any tourist, drive in the US (and any country) on her license from Mexico, doesn't matter what country the car plates are from.
Insurance is the main issue, ask your insurance company if a person visiting you, in the US, with a foreign license, can drive your vehicle with your
permission (Progressive can sometimes be the most flexible, but many others should allow it, for short periods). This is simpler than getting her a
short-term US license.

Easy to do now. Getting an appointment is hard so I would show up when they open.

Hi, Roundtuit
Suggest you check with the clinic at the hospital. Not certain, but I imagine they can do this for you or direct you.
Edited to clarify: Check with Licho Ortega the Delegado here in Mulege. He can ask the head of Transito what the requirements are.
Check with the Mulege hospital-clinic or with Dr. Soto. They may be able to issue a health certificate, but neither can do an EKG if that's a
requirement.
If you do need an EKG I suggest you go to Sta. Rosalia to the Seguro Popular hospital-clinic or for more convenience see a private doctor in Sta.
Rosalia who can do a rhythm strip and issue a health certificate.
