Banjercito Offices On The Border

If you plan to drive a car with foreign plates in Mexico, you must visit a Banjercito office at the Mexican border to get a temporary import permit.

A Temporary Import Permit allows foreign-plated vehicles to enter Mexico as long as they are for private use. And this permit is temporary- meaning you are not permanently importing your car. 

This permit is issued ONLY by Banjercito either at a land border or at specific Mexican consulates.

One thing worth mentioning is that you DO NOT need a temporary import permit if you are driving in the “free zone” of Mexico. The free zone is 21 km from the US-Mexico border, 98 Km in Sonora or all of the Baja Peninsula.

Most but not all land borders have a Banjercito office on site.

The following list shows you the border Banjercito offices at land borders where you can obtain a new temporary import permit and turn in your temporary import permit when you leave Mexico.
