Don´t know what the regs are, but while I´m just in our own town or general area I leave mine at home. I do take them both with me if we´re driving or traveling anywhere where I´m going to be gone overnight or longer.

I carry copies and I was once on a bus that was stopped for an army inspection--and I was given hell by the inspector for not having my Visa on me. I thought I was going to be arrested.

Most of my friends and I in Ajijic have miniaturized copies of important papers on us in our wallets at all times and only carry our important papers when traveling. I don't know whether it would be practical for you to obtain a local driver's license or not, but I usually find that my Jalisco drivers license is all that most folks want.

I was recently gifted with a Mexican notarized copy of my passport and told by my attorney that it would be accepted all over Mexico. I think I'll do the same with my FM-3 when I return from this trip.

While traveling I carry originals; around or close to home, copies in the glove box seem to be enough. My Jalisco driver's license, like Pete says, also seems to be acceptable proof that I'm legal.
