Mexico bike permit problem - Tapachula
We have been refused a temporary import permit (Permiso de importation temporal de vehiculos) at the Tapachula aduana.
My son and I are riding 2 motorcycles from South America to Canada. Both bikes are registered in Canada and the titles are in my name. I was issued a permit for one bike no problem. However the second bike was refused because "we could not produce an original birth certificate that showed I was my son's father". All other documents were in order including a notarized statement in Spanish where I authorized my son to ride my motorcycle. This letter was required by Costa Rica and was helpful when getting vehicle permits at other Central American border crossings.
We are going to try again tomorrow when different staff are on duty. Any information that might help us would be appreciated.
One suggestion was to obtain a "transit permit (pedimento de trancito) that would allow the bike to be ridden from one point to another in Mexico...say Tapachula to Matamoros.
Do we have any other options??
Thanks,
