Mexico recognizes both US and Canadian licenses. However, if your are a permanent resident, you can't drive a foreign plated vehicle. If temporary, you can.

Hmmm. This is interesting. Didn't someone else report that they could not get a driver's license since they were not a citizen? My apologies if my memory is not serving me correctly.

Thanks in advance!

I have a friend who is at the city offices to renew her driver's license. She has been informed that permanent residents of Mexico can no longer get a drivers license you must be a Mexican citizen. This makes no sense if you live here, and have a Mexican plated car.

I can't believe the city would do something so stupid, well, yes I can, but I still suspect something got lost in translation. The regulations for emitting a driver's license come from the state government, and these are the current rules (there is no mention of nationality, but it does mention a credencial de elector, and your migratory document should suffice for that purpose):

I received my Guerrero license when I was a Temporary Resident - bought for 5 years - license has since expired. I have been a Perm Res for 3 years now - living CND mainly since The Vid but, was planning on renewing this Winter when I was down there...

Yeahhhh, probably depends which day you go to the "Help Desk" at licensing... Or, I'd find a connection/friend in that Office to smooth the process..

Yeah, administration/service short comings like this when we lived down there - almost put my partner in the Nut House - not sure how far off she was to entering the threshold of the door way...

Best

Keep us posted on your process of renewal...

That is funny. I was told the other day by people familiar with licensing that now that I am a permanent resident, I MUST have a Mexican driver license.

Oh, boy! Ya' just gotta' love Mexico! I know I do!
