ford's point may have several faces: Each State in Mexico issues its own Reglamento de Transito. I was aware of Yucatan's Reglamentos, but I didn't know the Reglamentos for DF & Mexico Cit.y, ford described his concerns about getting tripped-up in their vehicle anti-theft retenes, so, we pulled up the Federal Highway, DF, Metropolitano, & edomex rules to see if there is anything published that address a front plate that is a copy of the official rear plate.
The Reglamento de Transito for DF lists the following requirements for license plates: (Using Google Translate)
"Article 16
Motor vehicles can only drive with:
License plates or temporary permits in force or if the copy
certified the claim for loss to the Public Prosecutor, same
they must:
a) Be placed in the space provided by the vehicle manufacturer;
b) To be free of any object or substance that hinders or obstructs its
visibility or registration;
c) Match the permanent transfer of movement, card
circulation and vehicular control records, and
d) Have the size and characteristics specified by the Mexican Official Standard
respectively.
II. The decal permanent circulation, and
III. The vehicle inspection hologram effect or if the certified copy of
the reporting of the loss to the Public Prosecutor."
Or the Spanish language version to carry in DF(?):
"Artículo 16
Los vehículos automotores sólo pueden circular con:
Placas de matrícula o permisos provisionales vigentes o en su caso la copia
certificada de la denuncia de la pérdida ante el Agente del Ministerio Público, mismos
que deben:
a) Estar colocadas en el lugar destinado por el fabricante del vehículo;
b) Encontrarse libres de cualquier objeto o sustancia que dificulte u obstruya su
visibilidad o su registro;
c) Coincidir con la calcomanía permanente de circulación, con la tarjeta de
circulación y con los registros del control vehicular; y
d) Tener la dimensión y características que especifique la Norma Oficial Mexicana
respectiva.
II. La calcomanía de circulación permanente; y
III. El holograma de verificación vehicular vigente o en su caso la copia certificada de
la denuncia de la pérdida ante el Agente del Ministerio Público."

I am no attorney, but these regulations do not seem to prohibit front plates that are exact copies of the rear plate.
Continuing: http://portal2.edomex.gob.mx/...multas/EDOMEX_024340
"Article 118 .- Vehicles shall be retained and sent immediately to the nearest depot in the following cases:
I. When committing a breach of these rules does not have his driver license and / or permit to drive, personal identification card for public transport operators have the vehicle registration certificate, or document that justifies the omission;
II. When the vehicle both plates missing, or the document justifying the omission;
III. When the vehicle plates do not match numbers and letters on the sticker or registration certificate"
Spanish version:
"Artículo 118.- Sólo procederá la retención de cualquier vehículo, remitiéndolo de inmediato al depósito más cercano, en los siguientes casos:
I. Cuando al cometer una infracción al presente reglamento su conductor carezca de licencia y/o permiso para conducir vehículos, tarjeta de identificación personal para operadores de transporte público y el vehículo no tenga tarjeta de circulación,o el documento que justifique la omisión;
II. Cuando al vehículo le falten ambas placas, o el documento que justifique la omisión;
III. Cuando las placas del vehículo no coincidan en números y letras con la calcomanía o la tarjeta de circulación"
Again, I see no mention of requirements or penalties for having a copy that contains the appropriate and correct information.
The Rules for Traveling Federal Highways (REGLAMENTO DE TRÁNSITO EN CARRETERAS FEDERALES) http://www.aniq.org.mx/...lamentos/tt-rtcf.pdf say:
"ARTICLE 41. The plates must be firmly placed, one in front of the vehicle and another
in the back, in places intended for that purpose, except in the case of motorcycles,
bicycles and trailers that carry only a plaque on the back.
Shall not be employed for the fixation of the plates, any procedure that defaces or
modify in any way. ...
ARTICLE 45. It prohibits the use of plates, greeting circulation or in a vehicle sticker
other than that for which they were issued these documents."
Spanish language version:
"ARTICULO 41. Las placas deberán estar colocadas firmemente, una en la parte frontal del vehículo y otra
en la parte posterior, en los lugares destinados al efecto, excepto cuando se trate de motocicletas,
bicicletas y remolques que sólo llevarán una placa en la parte posterior.
Queda prohibido emplear, para la fijación de las placas, cualquier procedimiento que las desfigure o las
modifique en alguna forma.
ARTICULO 45. Se prohibe la utilización de placas, tarjetas de circulación o calcomanía en un vehículo
distinto de aquel para el cual fueron expedidos dichos documentos."

We've searched over 300 pages of Federal, DF, Edomex, Yucatan, et al regulations covering vehicle plate rules, and we can't find anything that prohibits the use of a front plate that matches the rear plate. Individual Mexican States write their own reglamentos, so, we advise getting a copy of your state's Reglamentos de Transito to keep in the car. In Yucatan, all vehicles will be required to have a copy of Yucatan's Reglamentos when driving. We offered the Spanish language versions of pertinent regulations (above) if drivers think it helps to carry copies of the national regs, like Articulo 106, in their cars.
Happy Trails,
