Foreign driver's license exchange (Canje): Is the 30-day rule real?
Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out the whole process of exchanging my foreign driver's license for a Mexican one. I keep seeing people mention a 30-day window after becoming a resident. Is that actually a strict rule? And what happens if you miss it? Just trying to navigate the paperwork without any surprises before my next road trip!
Honestly, I think that 30-day rule is more of a guideline than a hard-and-fast law, at least in my experience here in CDMX. I ended up doing mine way after I got my residency card and didn't have any issues. I went to the *Secretaría de Movilidad* office in Álvaro Obregón, and it was pretty straightforward. Just bring all your documents!
