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.

    Thank you for providing this information. I had to wade thru hundreds of pages to find your page.

    All the the other pages explained the process over and over again and again until I wanted to barf.
    You are the only one smart enough to give the states, cities, addresses, and hours.
    I was looking for one specific office and their hours of operation. You gave me exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

    Tocaya,

    You are missing the offices in Tamaulipas. I know that Pharr 1 has offices, but I am not sure if the Nuevo Laredo offices or other have them too.

    Thanks for putting this together. Very helpful

    Thank you! We’ll be returning our TIP at the Nogales KM21 office on our way to Arizona after a long drive, and were just wondering how early we’d have to leave our hotel to get there. Understanding a lot can change between now and then, but this helps a lot. I’ll be checking back and calling them before we leave. Thx!
