Recent experience Temporary Residence Renewal at INM CDMX Polanco

Asesoria Legal🧑‍⚖️‍

Hi.

I m going to renew my temporary residence card at INM CDMX in three weeks. As I only spend some time in Mexico, I stay at AirBnBs and I do not have a proof of address (e.g. utility bill). In the past, INM CDMX did not ask for utility bills.

Can someone with recent experience at INM CDMX confirm:

  1. Did you or did you not need to submit proof of address for temp res renewal based on old address?

  2. Out of curiosity, is it required for change of address or just the affidavit?

  3. Are new cards still issued on the same day? How long did you have to wait?

  4. Would you recommend sticking to my old address, even if I am staying at a different Airbnb this time? I guess it would just complicate things to switch to a new Airbnb without utility bill at hand.

  5. Is it true that I can even book an appointment past my expiration date if I initiate the booking before the expiration date, provided that I enter Mexico before the expiration date and do not leave before I receive the card?

Also fun question:

  1. It will be gay pride in CDMX. Any tips what to do, which parties to go to, where to stay?

Thank you.
