An UCD permit is available in San Miguel de Allende for those with a foreign plated vehicle who want to drive in the state of Guanajuato, San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, and parts of Morelia. Your vehicle must be 2010 or older. The country where the vehicle was made, nor your visa status are an issue. You are issued a letter from the Director General of the Public Security for Guanajuato state indicating your car is legal. You also receive a letter from SAT stating your car is legal. You no longer need to update your car permit and if you are a Permanent Resident this allows you to drive legally in the areas I noted. There is no need to leave your house as I will come to you.
UCD is an association of nearly 900,000 members in Mexico made to improve conditions and advocating for farmers. They help poor people, those marginalized, orphans and work to find employment for those fighting for an opportunity at a decent life. They also are advocates for Indigenous Peoples. For renal patients they assist in arranging and paying for dialysis and coordinating kidney transplants. UCD encourages and supports sporting events and the involvement in sports while providing trophies and rewards. It is also important to UCD members to promote Mexican culture, traditions, artisans and celebrations.
