Re:Digest Number 548; Re:Mexico DL

[Guest guest]

My state's (Illinois) system sent out a message about this on Oct. 31. It

reads: " Interpol Mexico advises: To inquire on Mexican vehicle registrations,

you MUST state the reason for your request (Type of criminal investigation,

theft, rape, drugs, specific traffic violation, accident, etc.) in order for

Mexican authorities to process your request. The state of issuance is

MANDATORY because Mexico DOES NOT have an automated system. Interpol Mexico

WILL NOT process requests for driver's licenses or vehicle registrations when

the request relates to a traffic violation ONLY. These requests are

considered administrative rather than criminal in nature. Unless a crime

resulted from the traffic violation (robbery, vehicular homicide, etc.)

Interpol Mexico WILL NOT respond. "

Hope that answers the question.
