Wish I had seen this column sooner. When they turned me down they suggested I go to another office and then said they will tell me the same thing. You need naturalization.

I have owned a home in Playa del Carmen since 2003, I didn’t become a permanent resident until 2023 after I retired in 2022. I went to apply for a card today Feb 21, 2024, and was denied an application because I am not a Mexican citizen.

I am a permanent resident. Just left the INAPAM office here in Playa Del Carmen where I was advised they can only process cards for those that hold a letter of naturalization.

This was in Queterero. They placed it on the computer screen, issued a new Costco card and sent me on my way. I never saw the card again and they said they didn’t have it. I’m unable to get a replacement card from San Miguel so this is a dirty deal.

Don’t loose it because you can’t get a replacement

And don’t loose the card, if you have one, because they will not replace it.

Received my INAPAM card in 2013 in Tulum as a Permanent Resident. Tons of friends in Tulum, and Playa del Carmen, recently have not been allowed to apply for INAPAM and have been turned away. I live in Atlixco, Puebla State now. I went to pay the Predial on my house a few weeks back. Naturally, I wanted to get the 50% discount that INAPAM allows you to receive on your property taxes. I gave the rep my documents, including my Resident card. She refused my Resident card, stating the only acceptable ID was an INE card!! Which I don’t have, as I’m not yet a citizen. For all the world, it sure looks to me like the government is trying to exclude foreigners. My card is still valid (so far) as I am grandfathered in. This whole thing is really up in the air….

We are permanent residents in Quintana Roo and own a home here. Are they accepting applications there and do you know if we can apply there?
