We're building a house in San Miguel de Allende, so will check with people down there about what Guanajuato requires. I have also advised gringos to bring a duplicate of their US driver's license to surrender to the policia.

I just assumed that, if I am driving a car with Mexican plates that is registered in my name, the local cops or Federales would expect me to have a Mexican driver's license, but maybe not with a FM 2/3.

We need a sticky dedicated to car importation and ownership questions.
