RV title or registration
In the past we have all ways used our RV title for entry to Mexico. Can we use vehicle registration instead of the title?

Moishes, I recommend the reading of a book

It's the history of Mexico and clearly shows that the pinnacle of employment was not to become a doctor or scientist or engineer. It was (and is) to become a bureaucrat. Government being the ultimate. It's a tradition from Spain.
It would not raise one eyebrow to learn Mexico has two to three THOUSAND more federal laws than the USA. I believe Navegator, can inform the forum about TRAMITES.
Creating and enforcing a new law appeals to a bureaucrat like a new Kalashnikov appeals to a sicario (hit man). Selective enforcement of a veritable tsunami of laws and regulations infuriates Mexicans. A cop can almost invent what he is sure to be a new infraccion but in reality somewhere lost in an overstuffed file cabinet a similar law exists.
I have had too many Aduaneros tell me A LASER COLOR COPY (both sides) is sufficient to believe that a genuine copy is needed. On the signature for the release of title Print NO CAMBIO. In effect, VOID for transfer but keep in mind this is a copy not the original. One sargento in Lazaro Cardenas asked for the ownership certificate as I had stupidly reorganized the cab and had left the transparent pouch at home.
"Why is this a copy" he asked while rubbing his finger across the NO CAMBIO.
"It is because I wish no one to question that I have illegal intentions of selling the vehicle down here". Of course! That made perfect sense. He smiled and handed the certificate copy back to me.
Taking the original is only risky if it is with held or lost. In California at least it is a hassle getting a copy and the replacement is clearly marked DUPLICATE. Now THAT DID raise eyebrows everywhere I presented it.
I am trying my best to offer tips for a smooth border crossing. My personal opinion of Yecalandia's tips and information is that he is right on target.
Matamoros to El Pazo, is a world apart. So are the three cities across the border from California. These guys have been ------ ever since I started coming to Mexico. It seems like the only thing that keeps Tijuana from completely jumping the rails is the immense amount of money tourists bring to the border area.
WHEN is all of Sonora and south of Ensenada going to become a mandatory TIP region? Good question. The last time Mexico bureaucrats tried to monkey with the machinery (this is no joke), the state of Baja California told gobernacion it was considering a referendum and a vote to succeed from Mexico and join the USA.
I can only hope this explanation serves to clarify why the government of Mexico acts so goofy.
