Check the expiration dates on everything, including your:

• Passport
• Driver’s license
• Credit cards
• Debit cards

Then consider where it would be easier to renew any of these items– when you are NOB (“North of the Border”; the US and Canada) or when you’re a newbie in Mexico.  Relative to credit and debit cards, it can be extremely difficult or close to impossible to get your company to send you a new card in Mexico.  Just get items renewed early and this will be yet one more problem you will not have.

• Check the expiration dates on all the items listed above.

• Renew anything now, before you leave, that is due to expire any time soon.
