Your Mexican Driver’s License

Here’s a detailed description of our recent trip to the “Transito” in Guadalajara to get drivers licenses, in the hope that it will help someone else through a somewhat confusing process: Directions from Chapala: Try to arrive by 9 a.m., if possible. We got there around 10 a.m. and it was crowded. Get into the right hand lanes on “Gonzalez Gallo,” which the highway from Chapala runs into.

When the division ends completely, you will go through the intersection and turn right at the next intersection, which is the “16 de septiembre.” You will pass Walmart on your right. This street becomes “Alcalde” when you cross “Juarez” or “Vallarta.” There will be a glorieta at about 2 miles; take the right major road. You’ll still be on “Alcalde.” The next glorieta will be the “Transito” building. It’s on your right hand side. Read more
