Renewing our temp visa/CURP cards

[DML]

We just realized that our temporary visas/CURP cards are expiring at the beginning of August (we thought we had more time since we finished the process in September of last year).

Do we just need to return to SMdA with our CURP cards and $ to renew them? Do you know how this all works?

Any and all advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

If you have residente temporal visas, yes, you need to renew them before the expiration date. It usually works out to go to SMA (or León) about 15 days before they expire. And yes, the renewals cost money: around 3,000 pesos the last time I looked.

You don't renew a CURP .... it's yours for life

If finishing up your first year of Temporal .... you can renew for 1, 2 or 3 years. Save a little with more years

Actually that is not true. as we are temporary residents our CURP card has an expiration date

hey .... just passing along information

CURP is comprised of your name, birth date and a few other permanent things. If you think it will change year to year then spin your wheels.

It does not change

The Clave Única de Registro de Población (translated into English as Unique Population Registry Code or else as Personal ID Code Number) (abbreviated CURP) is a unique identity code for both citizens and residents of Mexico. Each CURP code is a unique alphanumeric 18-character string intended to prevent duplicate entries.

Which means it does not have to be renewed
