    I went yesterday to the new Aduyana/Banjerto office in Puerto Juarez and was informed that they no longer do vehicle permit renewals. The closest place is now CHETUMAL!!!!! Guess I'll hop a bus down and renew it. It's totally insane to have discontinued this. The lady did say that it might possibly change back in the future and to call next year before I head to Chetumal.

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    How can this be possible!?!

    We did hear that Erika was going to be leaving. Could it be possible that they shut down the office when she left?

    I WAS looking forward to an easy and quick sticker renewal for once. This plus FM3 plus Hacienda has me at the end of my rope!

    Isn't your vehicle permit automatically renewed when you keep your FM2/3 current?

    There are a thousand theories on this, but we renew ours every year, especially because we go back north every summer.

    I know that prior to 2003 that was true, however it is my understanding that the law was changed in June of that year and I have renewed ever since. I also got stopped by Transito for an expired sticker 2 years ago.

    If you read my post at http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31098&highlight= you'll see the current state of the law. If you are on a FM3 for retirees, your permit automatically renews with your FM3. If you read article 106 of the import regulations, it seems to imply that this rule is for everyone and your car can travel anywhere, but there is a glut of confusion about holders of other FM types.

    From my personal experience, I was ticketed by a Transito. My NY plates had expired years ago, my import sticker was 2 years out of date and all he wanted to see was a valid driver's license and insurance papers. When I asked the officer about the importation sticker he was aware of Article 106 and said I had no concerns. US insurance brokers who specialize in Mexican insurance advise you to print a copy of Article 106 in Spanish and English to keep with you in your car.

    Your mileage may vary, as I am speaking only of the law as it applies to FM3 retirees, as explained to me by my insurance agent and a couple of Transitos that I've spoken with.

    Chetumal is at the very southern tip of the Tulum highway, it's on the border with Belize. The last time I took a bus there it was a six hour trip, probably faster in a car.

    I had cars here for years and never renewed the sticker, as long as my FM3 was valid so was my permit for the car.
