Update Your Passport, Drivers License, and Credit Cards

Very old passport

Well before you move to Mexico, be sure to 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.

When it comes to credit and debit cards, know that 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 in the next year or so.
