Paperwork: USA to Argentina and Back
 

I just want to confirm that the information I have gathered is accurate, if anyone is willing/able to advise.

This is the list of documents that I have pieced together from various sources:

For ME:

• Passport with available pages and time for each country
• Yellow Fever vax record
• COVID vax record
• Country specific COVID test results
• Proof of medical insurance
• Valid Drivers License with plenty of time before expiry
• International Driver Permit (IDP)
• Inter-American Driving Permit (IADP) for Uruguay and Brazil

For the bike:

• Valid Registration with enough time before expiry
• USA proof of insurance
• Local proof of insurance (varied by country)
• Import/export documents (obtained at each border)

I am trying to make sure I do not make a really dumb mistake and roll up to Mexico's front door missing a simple piece of documentation.

Unless I plan to sell the bike, there is no need to pack the title, correct? I know, dumb question, but I want to be sure.

I have read that the Carnet is no longer needed for CA or SA, so that's one less thing...

Thanks in advance!!:mchappy:

No follow ups?
Did you go?

Hi: here are some thoughts:

Passport with available pages and time for each country

- Make sure you'll have 6 months passport validity left at the end of the trip.

Yellow Fever vax record

- and the rest - check CDC recommendations - there are lots more vaccinations which you should have.

Inter-American Driving Permit (IADP) for Uruguay and Brazil

- I've never heard of this and have driven in both countries without one.


For the bike:

USA proof of insurance

- other countries will not care whether you have insurance in the USA.

Unless I plan to sell the bike, there is no need to pack the title, correct? I know, dumb question, but I want to be sure.

- Better to take it in case someone insists that you prove the bike's yours.

I have read that the Carnet is no longer needed for CA or SA, so that's one less thing...

- Not needed, but it does provide better protection than TIPs.
