What is a temporary vehicle importation hologram?
A temporary vehicle importation hologram is required to drive beyond the economic or “free” zone into the country (typically 20 miles). This is to insure you do not sell or abandon the vehicle in Mexico. You can only have one vehicle in your name, and you need to be present in the vehicle. You will need current vehicle registration, a current drivers license, and a credit card which will be charged $30 USD. The hologram paperwork will be scrutinized against the VIN at various checkpoints; much more often than visas.
