Mexico Temporal or Permanente change of residence (Nov 2022) Updated May 2025

As usual there have been some minor changes, and as usual some INM offices are unaware of them. I just did this process, so here what you have to do.

1) Know your former and current address

2) Have a utility bill showing your address, it does not have to be in your name, you will need a copy. If you have a lease or rental agreement that also works. Or a constancia from getting a drivers license.

3) You need your passport plus a copy

4) You need your resident card plus a copy of both sides

Things have changed by 2025. You now need to go to this LINK There is an option to select English

Now, INM may want this filled out as well https://www.inm.gob.mx/tramites/publico/solicitud_estancia.html Spanish Only

On this form select "Notificar cambios residentes temporales y permanentes" then "notification de cambio de domicilo:

This form should look familiar, it is thesame one as when you did your canje. Fill it out carefully with the info the same as on your passport, submit, then print it out (3 sheets). You need to take that with you to INM. Double check it, it is so easy to make a minor mistake and have to do it over.

You are done. I hope.
