Here's another vote for Azucena.

Yes, Azucena is the best for immigration matters. I highly recommend her.

I walked in without an appointment and 10 minutes later walked out with my plates. Easy.

I'd talk to local attorney Azucena Bateman of ABC Legal. She's the real immigration expert, responds quickly to phone calls and e-mails and her fees are very reasonable. There are many Mexican attorneys in town who are capable and could help, but Azucena has never disappointed me.

I've been here for 25 years and have never taken a driving test. I only took a written test once, but a monkey could have passed it. When I applied for my first MXN driver's license, I had a valid current license from the States, so that may make a difference in whether you must take a driving test.

I agree with Joan Sikes on this. I've been to both Dr. Gabriel and Dr. Gonzales and think that Dr. Gabriel at Quality Care is the best, hands down.

I've been with Parker for almost 20 years and they're wonderful to work with. I've had my car stolen, was involved in a serious accident, etc. and each time they responded quickly and made it easy.

Check with Azucena Bateman, a really good attorney in Ajijic, and she'll know if the offices in Guad are open. If so, it's really easy to do it yourself, or you could have Azucena help you.

I just checked on the internet. Apparently, Michigan has changed its notary laws since I left there 25 years ago. A Michigan notary can only notarize documents within the State. Some States do allow out-of-state notarizations, but not Michigan. Geez, I was all over the country notarizing documents.

Yvonne Jensen Lauterback is a US notary who I've successfully had notarize many documents, and a lot of my friends have too. Her home number is 76-52603. I was a Michigan notary for about 30 years and authorized to notarize anywhere - I just had to add some language about where I was commissioned, and then add "acting in ________County, State of _______________."

Has anyone else heard the rumor that there's a McDonald's going in across from Bruno's on the carretera? Hopefully, it's just a rumor. Thanks.
