RomantiZIHsmo Mexicano

I got one of those a few years back because I was told I needed it to rent a car in Italy. By "issue" they mean fill out a form in pen on cardstock and tape on your photo. It's a joke and the rental car place actually laughed at me when I showed them. It means nothing and they want to see your government issued license.

I'm told that in most municipalities in Mexico, residency (temp or perm) is all that's required for a license. Another Zihua "quirk".

I believe it may be worth looking into Petatlán or La Unión as sources for a driver's license. The Zihuatanejo city hall is laser focused on pouring cement and absolutely NOTHING else, to the detriment of everything else, including our tourism and our livelihoods.

BTW, that new road to Capricho del Rey will cover all the rocks along the coast with the mayor's cement. The project foreman says it will extend 20 meters into the ocean from the road's hillside. If you have Google Earth installed you can measure the distance and see how much of the coastal ecosystem will be cemented over. SICKENING! I wish more La Ropa residents would contact SEMARNAT and PROFEPA screaming ECOCIDE! There are locals who wish to remain anonymous who ARE contacting them with details about the irregularities of this project. But they need more voices to bolster them. I suspect the ayuntamiento may not even have a Manifiesto de Impacto Ambiental. I'm sure they never had a licitación pública because allegedly the mayor's cement company is on the public payroll. Corruption at its worst.
