Expired RV permit

We have been stuck in Canada and the 10 year permit on our MH has expired on Oct.6. We won't hit the border until November 16. I want to cancel the old permit and get a new one. Has anyone done this before? I cannot get the permit in my Wife's name as she has the permit for our Bluebird. Even though I have a different passport# now I do not think that will help. Their computer system has been upgraded and might pick up my name. Thanks
  • I want to believe that there will some sort of moratorium on expired permits depending on when they were requested and the date of expiration. I'm no expert on that but it sounds like with what we have been through and governmental border closing it would be understood.

    Anybody?
  • Get to the place where you return vehicle permits and just turn in permit. Then turn around and get new 10 year permit.
  • I have two thoughts.

    You should be able to arrive at the border and turn in the old, expired permit. Then, get a new one there.

    At least in the US, when you renew your passport and get a new number, it is not sent out to other countries. It is possible that a name match up could be tried, but face it, many/most names are very common and it wouldn't come up.

    Our thought? Cross the border on the 8th, and when you enter at Nogales be very calm and relaxed. It will work.

    Good luck, keep us posted.
