I still have the auto permit sticker on my windshield from a trip to Mexico last August and plan to visit the country again in July. It was never cancelled since the officials at the Mexican border where I returned to the United States advised that I keep it in the event that I might return within the 180 period for which it was valid. Will I be able to get a new permit this trip? Do I need to leave the old sticker on the vehicle or go ahead and remove it?<p>

The Banjercito officer will have to remove it. Only after that you may be allowed to get a new permit. Otherwise, you will no be able to get a new permit. Don't risk it!<p>
Do what VB says – especially don’t take that sticker off yourself!<p>And you may have to pay a fine. If your story of why you didn't turn it in is convincing, you may get by. On the other hand, he can slap a fine on you for not turning it in on time. <p>Good luck
