It’s not one checkpoint. It’s a gauntlet.
Nobody waves you through. You park, walk your paperwork from window to window, and every stop can end your trip if something’s missing.
Park — and find the right office
At some crossings the offices you need are 20 km past the gate. Miss them and you’re driving in Mexico with no legal status.
Immigration (INM)
Every traveler needs a stamped FMM permit — plus a photocopy the next window will demand and nobody warns you about.
Banjercito — vehicle permit
Your import permit, a deposit up to $400, a VIN inspection. Ownership papers that don’t match? You’re not crossing.
Customs (Aduana)
Two lanes, a random inspection light, and duty rules on cash, medication, drones, and food. Mis-declare and it’s confiscation — or worse.
Do it in the wrong order, miss a photocopy, or show up with the wrong letter, and you’re sent to the back of the line.Or worse — back to the country you drove in from.

Your US auto policy won’t cover you in Mexico
US, Canadian, and other foreign policies aren’t recognized in Mexico. Without coverage, even a minor accident can mean your vehicle is held and you’re detained until a valid policy is confirmed.
- You must have cover to legally drive anywhere in Mexico
- Liability or full coverage options available — valid instantly
- Takes about 15 minutes to buy online, and is accepted at all border crossings and checkpoints
