Should I keep my license plates or get new ones in Mexico? You must keep your US plates. It is VERY difficult to re-plate a car here....requiring the greasing of many pockets.

How do the Mexico authorities verify if foreign plates are still valid? They can't and don't care. It's a beautiful thing. My buddy John has Texas plates that expired in 1991.

I would insure locally in Mexico, is that possible on foreign plates?No problem at all.

Hi Michelle, I didnt realize that we could actually get auto insurance here in Playa. We currently have Lewis and Lewis. I just havent heard of anyone using someone like ING here -that has foreign plates-is it because its more expensive?
