Unfortunately, James, that's incorrect. If you're in Yuma, you're not required to pass emissions, but if you're registered in Phoenix or Tucson, emissions are required.

Older than 16 requires passport.... We've been using our kids expired passport cards for a year now, through San Luis and Lukeville. Not a single issue, maybe because kids are under 14. Our passport cards are still valid. But also know several families that refuse to spend money on passports...

Sounds like what we'll be doing this weekend. How bad is the weather? We're heading down Friday morning, and weather reports say it'll be windy. Anyone there now to give me a weather report?

Are they allowing people on there to fish?

So the days of camping for $5 at the Reef are long gone? There is no access to that area anymore? It'll certainly be different this time. We haven't been to Rocky Point for a couple years.

They steal from everyone, including the employees. A family member worked at a Pemex in San Luis Río Colorado, he was desperate for work. They get paid $750 pesos a week! He found out the pumps were "off" everyday. At first he thought it was his math, so he was more careful, still he would...

Not ever. Knew a girl who was carrying close to $30k, on the bus to Nogales. Bus was stopped for search and they must've read her body language, because her and another girl were body searched and cash discovered. She was in jail and few days, given probation, and money seized because she...

Thanks, for the suggestions, Roberto.

Thank you, Mis. I will look into it today.

Liens? In the USA? None. So, Santander, will allow me to withdraw money from a Bank of America account? This seems the easiest way. But I don't have a Credencial de Elector. I have dual, citizenship, but only have a Mexican passport. Could that be used? Thank you, for some useful advice.

^^^ this! He doesn't have a bank account. And wants cash. Bank here wants 2% to wire, but they don't know how much, if any, fees the Mexican bank will charge. As stated by PLAYA, Mexicans don't want to pay any of these fees. Seems a lot, for me to pay both fees, when I've already paid...

I do have copies of everything. I was hoping someone had previous experience declaring or taking more than $10k to Mexico. In reality $10k is not a lot and, for me at least, easy to prove funds - where it's going and where it came from. I've bought and sold properties in Mexico before, but the...

Yes, I'm doing it all legal. I'm a Mexican citizen and owner it's a family friend, but it's the first time I bring this much. So, a wire transfer is possible? I'd like to know what I'm doing before I head there this weekend. Thanks

I apologize for my ignorance, but it's late to call Customs or my bank, if they are any help at all. I also did a quick search and came up empty. I'm buying a piece of land for just over $10k. What are the appropriate steps to get that money to Rocky Point? Thank you for any help...

Thank you for the info. I see adults don't have to pay the Execution fee for renewals. How about minors? Our kids passport cards expire next year. Most of our relatives and close friends do not even use passports, and honestly they come and go with the same hassle we do (with passports) when...

We were ONCE dumb enough to go on a "cruise" on one of them. At the time our kids were 4, 5 and 8. When the guy came up to us we told him, "No!" because of the kids. He said it would just be a leisurely ride, nothing crazy. Finally after a price we couldn't refuse, we agreed. HUGE mistake...

Once had a vendor say to us, "Pay me with Pesos! I don't care for your (meaning Americans) dollars! This is Mexico, We deal in Pesos! But If you insist on paying me with dollars my exchange rate is $10 pesos x dollar, because I have to do the work for you." Seemed rude, but we understood...

Thank you, Beechbum. I will try both. We'd been out of town, but will get to work on this. No English needed, we're bilingual! Our daughter, not so much though. Unfortunately, very irresponsible of us. :oops:
