What Do I need to buy and sell a car?
What documents are needed to purchase a vehicle in Mexico? A passport is the best photo identification. Foreigners need a VISA TEMPORAL or VISA PERMANENTE, plus proof of address in Mexico. That’s to make sure you are legal in country.
In Jalisco, Mexico a Tourist Visa does not qualify a person to purchase a car.
What you need is a phone or electric bill no older than the past 60 days, showing the full civic address in your name.
If a car buyer has no proof of address because documents are in the name of a previous property owner or the present landlord if renting, then there must be a copy of the purchase agreement or rental agreement (minimum one year) plus copies of the appropriate utility bills in the owner’s name and his/her picture ID. Copy all documents for the officials.
