working on this one!

You have apparently 15 days from the time of purchase to get plates on your newly purchased motorized vehicle. This could be a true statement or an incorrect statement. We do not believe you have 30 days, we have been unable to get a ‘temporary plate’ at the police station. We do believe you need a license plate. So far we know that the only place to get license plates is in Merida. At Siglo XXI you can get plates for your vehicle but not for a scooter.

You can get the plates in Merida by the zoo, you must line up very early, you must have all the correct documents, you must have the bike/vehicle present so they can make an impression of your VIN.

We are at the process of finding someone to stand in line very early for us… and someone who has a truck and can get the scooter into Merida for us without me driving it on the highway again. We need a ‘guy’ who can do these things!

we will keep you posted on this and will update this posting in the search for our license plates (‘placas’) as we go.
