In reply to robin jake. This was address on the Tren Maya by having the Army themselves build and operate the trains. No national guard, no local police. Should be much better than taking a bus

In reply to Len Stewart. Hi Len, as the "Internet en tu casa" service from Telcel (and equivalents from other service providers) use a modem with a SIM card, it is necessary to register them as well. We recommend you visit your Telcel customer service center, where they will be able to link your registered cell phone number with the number on the SIM card in your modem. Users can have up to 10 devices registered in their name.

Just completed the process online for my cell phone. We have Telcel Internet en Tu Casa internet service in our house. Does that have to be registered too? I realize it’s not “mobile,” but it uses the same sort of Telcel sim card as a regular cell phone I think.

In reply to Rodney. Agree. It's the next step to keeping us under surveillance through digital ID. The excuse is crime. Well those of us that are not criminals are being treated as such. This is a global scam.

why are people complying with this? Its foreigners/expats who are the worst with complying with government demands.

Instead of complying, stand with Mexicans and organizations like R3D and reject this invasion of privacy and government overreach!

Comment on Permanent Residency & Foreign-Plated Vehicles in Mexico by Conserned

I was told by the local chief of police in Playa del Carmen that my foreign platted car is illegal and will be confiscated on site and that a free zone does not exist in Quintana Roo. I am a temporary resident who crossed the border with my car prior to the January 1, 2026. I did receive a TIP when I crossed the border but when I attempted to register my car, officially, iI was told that a temporary resident can not register a car in Mexico, not even a car purchased on Mexico.

Comment on INAPAM Program Might Be Closing to Foreign Residents by John Burke

In March 2026, my wife and I sought to apply as permanent residents in Mazatlan and was informed one must be a citizen. Apparently this is new since January, 2026. Notably, we were accompanied by a representative from CAPTA who himself was unaware of the new restrictions.

Foreigners are asked for passport. but the the CURP they “lookup” is Incorrect!!!

but ultimately it bombs out with error message anyway
I will have to seek a Telcel Attention Center when return to Mexico but that is after June 30. going to cause problems with some things that require 2FA. (Live part time in Mexico)

In reply to Thalia. Yes. Where you bought your phone is irrelevant. (No snark intended) For example I bought my phone on US Amazon. But, I have Mexican sim/cell service so I must register as well which I will do through my service provider's website. Just as a side note I have been receiving at least 6 spam calls a day recently. I think it could be fraudulent folks trying to have me register through them. I never answer the calls so not confirmed info.

In reply to Vera T. Hi Vera You don't need to register your Canadian SIM card in Mexico; however you do need to register your Mexican SIM card to prevent it being suspended.

After several (~10) attempts to register through the online portal over the last few weeks, I was finally able to complete the registration this evening. Previously, the process would fail towards the end displaying a ‘system error’ message.

The process is nearly identical to the one that banks use when you register online: they first ask for a photo of your passport, and then a ‘selfie’ routine begins: you’re asked to look directly at the camera, then left/right, up/down.

At the end of the process, you get a confirmation screen (and SMS message) with a file registration number. I’ll keep the file number for reference, just in case.
