I just bought a car in the U.S. and need to bring it over.
What are the steps for registering my vehicle in Tijuana after moving?
1 Answer
To register a vehicle in Tijuana, you must first obtain a temporary import permit from the border authorities, then bring the car to a local motor vehicle office. You’ll need proof of ownership, a valid insurance policy, and a technical inspection certificate. Once the vehicle passes inspection, you can pay the registration fees and receive the local license plates. It’s important to keep the vehicle’s insurance active throughout the process. For detailed instructions, consult the municipal motor vehicle office’s website or visit a local office for guidance.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Tijuana.
