All information in www.HowToBuyAHouseInMexico.com website is insider opinion: confirm it with your own research! If you are moving back to Canada or the US from Mexico and your driver's license has expired, you may have a major issue. You probably have a Mexican state driver's license. If so, in Canada / US, upon your return, your auto insurance company often asks for your driving record in Mexico. If it is not available, your insurance cost may be based on your being a new driver.
In Mexico a driving record usually requires an RFC, a tax ID number. RFC's are only issued to Temporary / Permanent Residents and citizens.
Please obtain your driving record, prior to leaving Mexico. If there are any issues such as a faulty RFC, it is impossible to correct from outside of Mexico.
