    Just renewed mine in August.

    Take a copy of your existing license, passport, FM and bill from your house.

    Expect to be there for an hour or so going through the stages.

    Yes, you'll need FM3 or FM2

    When I got mine 6 years ago, they would only issue it for as long as your Visa is valid. Hence I never bother renewing and rely on my UK licence.

    Might have changed since then.

    Drivers license.....??????????? What do you need a driver's license for in Cancun..?????? What they really need - is some type of vehicle inspection like we have in all 50 states in the USA...!!!!!! I have seen what "passes for a motor vehicle" in the roads of Cancun which should have been junked years ago..!!!!! No headlights - tail lights - fenders - no muffler of any kind...!!!!! AND talk about AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS!!!!!!! IT IS A GOOD THING THAT GUNS ARE OUTLAWED IN MEXICO!!!!!!!!!

    I come from Boston, MA where the drivers are known to have a bad reputation for being aggressive. BUT Cancun cannot hold a candle to any Boston driver...... change 3 lanes on Kabah without any turn signal - Turn without any signal - Even race car drivers have more road courtesy....

    AND - I thought there is supposed to be a HELMET LAW for scooter & motorcycle riders....???? A few years back - I forgot my helmet at home and was stopped by traffic police and paid a $100 Peso "propina".......
