Thank you for providing this timely and important information. You are our national treasure !
You just saved me 2,000 pesos for a lawyer to do this. What an extreme value you provide for the expat community! Thank you so much Paul👍
Happy to help!
We must have same lawyer, same price too. For a family of 4 adds up real quickly for a quick process.
You"re very fortunate. My immigratation facilitator just got 4,000 pesos for each my husband and myself total 8,000 pesos. Wow! I had no idea you could get this done with a lawyer for half the price!!! We don't know Spanish and given this is a government interaction we needed help. She said that she would have to get someone to hold a spot overnight in the line up so that she could get in to do the paperwork at INM. Was I scammed???
Thank you so much for your video. Today I was able to get my address change in INM for my family of 4. I followed all the insrtuctions given by you and generate forms and letters within an hour. Then went to Mexico city polanco office for enquiring about how to take appointment for it. I was there around 1:30pm. I enetered from the main door and in front of it, they have window 61 for the information and enquiry. The INM person told me that you can take appointemnt for tomorrow at the small tent near to the first gate. I got the appointment for today at 9:30am. At 10:30 my work is done and they changed the address in the system. They dont charge anything for this. Also we saved money that we had to give to the lawyer. And it's all possible becasue it this video. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to the Polanco office tomorrow to do the same thing!!
Worked like a charm in Puebla, thank you. You saved us a pile of money.
This is great! We followed the instructions and went to INM today. It worked slick! No issues at all. Thank you again Paul for another informative video!
Thanks Paul! I noticed the first part of the application asks if you know your NOE and CURP. It is on the TR card. I'm hoping that autofills much of the form!
I am sooo grateful I found you on youtube today...I have searched the INM websites for 2 hours...with no success..I accidently ran into your video...hope you have one for permanent resident...I will be filing next November...Great Job.. I subscribed.
Hmm, I've been in the US for 8 years, and never let them know. (I have or had? residency) I'll have to figure out what to do when I want to go back, since I don't have a Mexico address anymore. This video is a good start!
Thanks for giving me the courage to walk into INM on my own! You may have also saved me $$$ because now I may try to do my temp to perm residency as well. Already have an appt. 😄
Many thanks indeed of this clear explanation of the process Paul! Very grateful 😊
We just got our Temporary resident card with the help of your referral of Adriana. She referred us to Susana in Mexico City. It all was done the same day. We are in the process of buying a home near Cajititlan. Your video will help us change our address when that happens. Thanks again
I am always impressed with your research and knowledge
Thank you for that. I try to be thorough.
Thanks. This was very helpful. I appreciate the time and effort you put into with this information.
Great video as always. Yucatán currently has people waiting in line for an address change. I did one a few months ago and was in line at 6am and there until 2pm.
Ouch, that's a long time.
Muchas gracias Paul....A very timely video,
Thanks for watching. The topic is pretty dry but necessary.
Hey Paul, Thanks for the video. I am in the middle of completing my change of address in Hermosillo (state of Sonora). I got the documents from INM as per your video. I also searched for a way to set an appt on-line with INM but found no way to do so, so I just followed your instruction of going to the local INM office. However, INM informed me that they don't provide the actual change service for foreigners and directed me to the SAT office which, fortunately, was only a block away. But SAT, of course, does take on-line appointments and wouldn't see me when I showed up. Anyway, long story short. I had to make an on-line appointment with SAT (which I learned in one of your other videos) to take the information I downloaded from INM with your help in this video to complete the process. Maybe it is different regions or states, but this is my experience here in Sonora.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Paul
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate your in depth approach to fixing documents... While I went with my In-laws to these agencies and tried to absorb as much as possible, I didn't actually go to the navigate the websites... This is extremely helpful as my Spanish is not that great! Gracias !!
Thanks for watching. These topics can be very dry. I'm glad to hear that you find the videos (even the dry ones) useful. :)
@@qroo Since I haven't been able to fix my documents yet... I hope that in the near future I will be able to take care of all of this... I retired early, but family stuff has kept me from going yet... when I do, I probably won't come back :)
@@qroo Dry is good! Dry is excellent! So much better than the mugging and gibbering that seems to never end in many if not most youtube videos.
Good information to have, thanks!
Our pleasure!
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
I’ve just been through this with a change in marital status. The state of Colorado took months to issue a certificate so we ended up with an eye-watering multa from INM. Really though I was surprised by the mountain of required paperwork.
Thank you. This was a good video. We had to notify them several years back, but they didn’t have it all on the website so nicely. I have a question. If someone moves back to the US and no longer has a Mexican address, does he have to cancel his Permanent residency?
Hi Paul, thanks for this great video. Very helpful as always.
Quick question... I've heard that temporary residents might need to notify INM if we change our phone number. Is that true?
There's no button for that on the INM website you link to.
The address is not changing, but I may want to change my phone number.
Hi Qroo, can you make a video on the details for Mexican residents from the US that work remotely for US based companies? As I understand, SAT requires that the foreign company set up a tax presence in Mexico. Thank you.
Wonderful and informative video. Thanks for all of your help. Just wondering if the online form is only for providing a hard copy to be taken to an INM office? If I make a mistake on the form can I correct it and print again? Just thinking this form does not get registered with INM until hand delivered?
Excellent question. For my part I filled the form about 1 year ago for an address change without print nor going to INM. Now I don't know which previous address they have on file. Don't want to be fined going in the office...
Paul,
My wife and I have Just moved to Oaxaca. We already have our temporary residence in our passports, and we have to go online to see about our CANJE's - though I'm almost positive we were given something upon our arrival on June 1st. We have contacted a "gestor". My question to you is, how much should a gestor cost for 2 people, and to what length should his services extend? Keep it coming!!!
Warm Regards
James & Jackie
Johnson
Do you need to make an appointment for this, or can you just turn up and say ' I am here'
In the video, you skipped the box for the CURP. Was that intentional or was that on oversight? Thanks.
Do i get some confirmation after ? And what if idid mistake in the format, i did it again correctly but what with the "wrong pieza" should i cancel it some how?
Hey, Paul. If we have a lease and all the utilities are included in our rent, will our lease suffice as proof of address? Thanks!
Hi Paul.. another great video.. One question. I just have US cell phone number. Can we use that? do we put in country code? Thanks again.
As always, so helpful, thanks Paul. Quick question that came to mind when you mentioned needing to advise INM of a job change. My husband works for a Canadian business online, so I assume he'll need to notify INM when he retires? Thanks - Anne
I don't believe your husband needs to do this since it is online job from Canada.
Feliz Holidays!.✌️
@@luyzqint3760 I'm not so sure since you have to tell INM what you work at (if you work) or if you're retired when you apply for residency. It's also a question for other things ie. getting your RFC number. Feliz Holidays to you too!
Just a quick question, what will happen next? Do you get a new card with the new address on the rear of the card? or do you keep the old card?
The one piece that wasn't clear (here in Oaxaca) was that you needed to bring the original and copy of whatever document you used in the form (passport, for example). Fortunately, we lived close by and could return quickly.
it was stated at just before 2 minutes in
Paul, I also wanted to ask: Would it not be wiser form a monetary standpoint to pay for 4 year the first time, and save almost 10,000 pesos?
Question? Does my wife need to fill out the change of address also?
If we want to change address and marital status, do we need 2 different forms?
Hola, thank you so much for the info! My question is if I am visiting another city like lets say San Miguel, can I do my change of address at the INM office in SMA even though I'm currently living in the Yucatan? What if I don't recall my previous address in Mexico?
If you are only visiting, don't change your address with INM. This is were you "reside" in Mexico.
Do you have to provide electric bills to prove address? Is there a way to check that the paperwork was processed and the change is in their system? Especially if you are allowed to drop off and go.
I am a Canadian Citizen and have the Mx Permanent Residency. As of yet, we have not purchased a Mexican property. When I am in Mexico, I rent a property and then travel back to Canada to spend time with Family. When I return to Canada, do I need to do a change of address? Or do I wait until I return to Mexico, and if I am renting a new property, do I then do a change of address.
This is super healpful! do they issue a new card once this is done? also, how many copies of everything do you need to take?
You keep the same card. The immigration cards do not have addresses on them. Just one copy of everything.
@@qroo The cards do say the state on them (Yuacatan for example)...for discounts only available to QRoo residents and for getting Xcaret annual pass how can we prove QRoo residency? any help on this is much appreciated!
@@togethertowhereverget a local drivers license. It will have your address listed on your license and the parks office will accept that as an official ID along with a utility bill. At least they did for me.
Hi Paul,
My TR renewal is due in February but i am 57 yrs. old and retired now. Do you know if it is possible to obtain and pay for PR when i go to renew, seeing as i am retired now, rather than the 3 yr TR renewal first ?
Thank You
Paul, you left out the second step and an important detail - which cost me an 8000 MXN fee! I talked it down to 2200 MXN, which still hurt. The second step is the online petition for address change. The detail in this form is that for the Previous Address field, don't write in your previous physical address, but make sure it is the previous address that Immigration has on file. Still, thumbs up - good job overall!
How can i verify what is the current address Immigration has on file? My ex employer did the paper work and I am not sure which address was used
@@tower506 I imagine that you could stop by the INM office and ask. Once you actually enter it into that field and submit, they won't allow you to change or edit a mistake. Please share how it goes. Good luck!
Are there any government fees for the address change procedure?
Do I bring these documents to the INM-office of the current city/new address I am living in or to the INM office of the city of my previous/old address? And do you know what to fill in if you don’t have a “numero exterior” nor a “numero interior”? Because as I see the “numero exterior” is required, I’ve asked my landlord but they say we don’t have a number.
Hola! Can you tell me how to change my address with SAT?
Quick question Paul. Twice in the video you mention Temporary Resident, does that mean the requirement or procedure is different for us Residente Permanentes?
No, it's the same but this tends to be a problem more for temporary residents because INM catches the address change at renewal time. That's when thry ask, "When did this happen and why didm't you tell us?' Nothing like adding a fine to those renewal costs.
@@qroo Gotcha Thanks!
Yep, doing our 3-year temporary residency renewal in March and our lawyer will not proceed until we do our change of address first.
Love your Channel Paul thanks for all the help you provide!👍
I had problems in Cabo.
My CFE postal code was wrong so they sent me away to come back
I made the mistake of filling the form about 1 year ago without following with the INM visit. Now I can't find which address they have on my file. Not sure what to do.
can i ask a question. what is an expat?
We all have to get new placas this year in QR. How about a video on that? Is it exact same process for getting a new circulation card, or more complicated? You have to surrender the existing plates, etc.?
my passport has been damaged and I will be getting a new one. Since I hold a temporary residency in Mexico, should I inform the Mexican immigration office about this change? if yes what is the process?
Same question that wasn't answer below. Does anyone know what qualifies as "proof of address"? If the utility is in the family name, is that okay? For example, I'm living with husband and family. So the property deed and utilities are not in my name. Is that okay?
What is meant by a change of address? I assume that means you are moving from you primary registered residency address (one you at the majority of the year), correct, and not if you are just going to Houston for 3 months?
It refers to changing your primary address in Mexico.
do they give you a new card once you update your address? Thanks so much!
No, the card does not have an address on it.
@@qroo Thanks for the reply--- it is written on the back of the card the office where it was issued--- and in Tulum, they offer discounts for residents of Tulum but they don't accept my card because it's from another state
What if someone has a one year rental lease and once the one year lease is satisfied they decide to start traveling through Mexico? How does one go about an address change when the address will be changing every week or every month? Residents are not allowed to travel through Mexico without a permanent address?
This is a problem with this requirement. What most people do is keep the old address on file until they find something somewhat permanent (year lease or so).
Paul, what if i sold my home in mexico and didnt purchase another property? Do i still need to complete the form. If so, would i just leave the new address part out? Please lmk.
They don't have an option for "at large". What most people do is just leave the old address on file until they buy or rent somewhere else in Mexico.
@qroo thanks paul! Your content is the best on CZcams!
Wonderful, step by step procedure to follow. Wondering if I can modify or re-enter my information on this form without a problem with INM? Does the online form actually get entered into their system or is it only when I bring the completed form to the INM office? Would like to complete form in US and bring down in a few weeks but not completely sure of Colonia to use, etc. Thanks so much for your help.
I'm planning on moving on January 20 and renewing my Temporary Residency card in March. Since the move will occur less than 90 days, can I skip the address change and simply update my address when I renew my card?
Knowing how particular they can be, I would file the change prior to the renewal to avoid having to go through the explanation of "when" this move occurred etc. A different address on renewals is one of their red flags.
@@qroo it's a ten dollar crack-of-dawn trip from Guanajuato Capital to León to do it, but I agree, better safe than sorry. Thanks for the quick response.
What is your opinion about whether you have to notify an overseas address if you go to live overseas for a while?
They will only accept Mexican addresses. If you don't have one, what most people do is just keep the old address on file until they either buy or rent a new place.
@@qroo Wow, that's good to know! So if I move back to the U.S. I just leave my current address, even though I don't live there anymore?
@@trishk.7876 🙄isn’t that what he just said?!
Won't the office let you do the online change on the spot if they catch you with a new address?
They will, but they may hit yout with a fine as well. Our neighbors had a problem with that during a renewal.
I have permanent residence, but I am not yet living in mexico. They don't require me to live there, but they seem to require an address in mexico, which I don''t have. The 'fixer'I had assist with getting the residence (the visit to inm in mexico) "rented" me a temporary address. So now I have to pay them to keep this address. Is there another solution to this? Now I have a second issue. I bought a house in a new development and it is still on developers utilities. There is no meter at my address, so no utility bill. I can't seem to do anything here without a utility bill even if it is not in my name. So while I actually own an address, it looks like I have to keep paying someone in order to use their address, because the development utility bill is registered in tulum instead of at the development. But if I am not required to be in mexico at all times, why can't I register an international address?
Any report on INM agents show up at your house to check on you?
No, we haven't seen that happening. The problem comes in when you have to go back to INM for some reason and then they discover the address discrepency (e.g. renewals, lost card).
I know why you're asking this. There are so-called "helpful helpers, for a fee" who continually post falsehoods on their Facebook civil lists and blogs about INM showing up to inspect your living property on file to be certain you really live there. Then they'll add, "call us right away to avoid huge fines, jail time or possibly expulsion from the country."
The fines aren't that huge. It's like a slap on the wrist for forgetting, and there is no jail time. And they're not going to take your residency card and kick you out of the country. Mexico wants your money.
The only thing you might possibly serve some jail time for is expired temporary or tourist visa (for a week or a month), then you "might" be banned for a year from the country. If you are, just wait a year, then return. It will be like "business as usual."
Not discounting the importance of accuracy on your INM file, you better stay up on it. Because if you get hit more than once with this, (address change or civil status) they will start looking how to get you out of the country.
I've heard of two people that I do not know personally in Yucatán claiming they got a visit, but it's hard to know if it's really true or not.
@@DenLD Probably not true. If you hear it directly from an individual and they show you oictures of the visit and the paperwork, then believe it.
@@MexicoAdventurer agree
"In theory there is no difference between Theory and Practice. In Practice there is!" - Yogi Berra, Manager, New York Yankees. You forgot to multiply the fine that would apply in theory, by the relevant reductive factors: a) The % probability that you will ever be checked... b) The % probability that they have any method or motivation for contesting the recorded address. Balance that Expected Value versus the 100% certainty that you will piss away another irreplaceable day of your life for the sake of bureaucratic compliance....
Good point Jim. From our experience, this becomes a problem for people when they have some reason to return to INM (e.g. residency renewal or lost card). That's when the new proof of address doesn't match what is on file and questions come up when that change of residency occurred.
The captcha is idiotic. I KNOW I've typed 10 in a row accurately, and it hasn't accepted one of them.

I don t understand why they like to live in Mexico? The weather is nice and the beaches. A bit cheaper than US but...Mexico is the most corrupted country..corrupted police..corrupted inmmigration etc delincuency narcos etc etc There is no way like home!! Love US. The only bada thing is that they keep increasing the retiremeng age. Now is age 62 or 69 few more years will be 75-80 why? Cuz most people don t reach that age and that way they will keep your $ but in Medicare you get the Best Drs in the World!!! No doubt about that. Another thing you could always be summon to be a juror it doesn t matter if you live abroad or you can be penalized .As long as you are US citizen have a US Dl and are register to vote.. Happy New Year to all .
Have you been in Mexico or your opinion is because you only have watched Hollywood movies? It is if I said that in USA I cannot go to Walmart because somebody is going to shoot me....
