=======================================

     My husband and I moved to Los Frailes almost 12 years ago. We soon realized that we liked spending more time here in Baja. Eventually I realized that I NEEDED International Health Insurance. In fact, I was overdue in this regard. US Health Insurance policies ONLY cover you if you live more than 6 months of the year in the United States. I had not conformed to that requirement for a number of years – I was spending LESS than 6 months each year in the US.
     I had two major International Health Insurance companies recommended to me – so I decided to handle this on my own and made my applications online. While I consider myself a very active, fit and healthy person, I naively went forward , not realizing that I was painting a bad picture of myself as I applied. Needless to say, I was soundly rejected by both companies! I now found myself in a very uncomfortable situation and basically afraid to make another application.
     In the midst of this, I met Char Wenger from the Amerimed Clinic in Barriles. Through her affiliation with Cabo Insurance, she walked me through the application process as “my” advocate. I now own an International Health Insurance Policy with BUPA, a reknowned insurance provider world wide.
     My advice is to get International Health Insurance if you are not actually living in the United States a full 6 months of the year. Do not make an application on your own and online. And I highly recommend Char as your agent.

SHARE YOUR ANSWERS

a. Alan, you simply DO NOT have to get your car smogged and you CAN STILL get California registration...I did this myself this past year..the dummies at DMV do NOT know anything about it, but the rules are if the car is not located in certain NAMED border cities, than you can get it registered without smog..guaranteed, you just have to have them read the regs, they are VERY clear. Please note the following previous postings in BPE that I saved for my own use, AND THEY WORK! Bill Karr

          (1) On the California DMV registration, we created a page with
instructions on our blog.

 How to register a car in California,
 when you can't smog it because it's stored in Mexico
 http://loreto.ehuna.org/archives/000238.html

This page can be used for future reference to anyone who's had
problems with the DMV.

Thanks for the Baja Pony Express,

Emmanuel and Janelle

          (2) I have gotten three renewals during this summer and
have always checked the box about outside California 
and then written "over" and filled in the explanation
on my "Statement of Facts" form. I put in the
explanation that the car is in Baja between LaPaz and
Cabo San Lucas (almost 1000 milaes below the border) 
and it wouldn't make it up to California for a smog
check and it is never in the State. I also give them
a copy of my Mexican auto insurance policy. I have
been doing this for years and have never had a 
problem. I even mailed in the statement of facts form
and a copy of the insurance last March because my
renewal is during a time when I'm not in the States;
however most of the time I just go into the office. I 
asked the supervisor why other people were having
trouble getting their renewals this year and she no
idea what the problem was.

          (3) Regarding the ongoing car registration discussion. We started keeping a car in Baja last year. The first time we re-registered it by mail and we used a Statement of Facts (a DMV form on their website) stating that the car was more than 1,000 miles from the CA border. Though the form says that the smog exception is not good for cars in either Canada or Mexico, we had been told that in excess of 1000 miles was the ruling fact. So we received our renewal sticker last year. This year I took my renewal notice, again with a Statement of Facts, to the local DMV office and was told no, because it was in Mexico, didn't care how far. So I took the same papers to AAA and got my renewal sticker no problem. Moral of this story? Maybe thinking it's all open to rational analysis. Sometimes you just have to keep asking until you get the answer you want. Next year, who knows?

          (4) This is in response to item #2 on the last post.
Additional information regarding CA DMV registration for cars kept in
Mexico. For years I have been registering my cars in the State of
California, but used and kept in Mexico only. The tough part of the
registration is the smog requirement not so much the insurance. No
one wants to drive 1000 miles to have their car smogged! Under the
smog exemption clause, the form lists no exemptions for cars kept in
Mexico. But, if you read further into that civil code it only lists
border cities (ie: TJ, Ensenada, Tecate, Mexicali) where no smog
exemption is allowed. The civil code is intended to prevent people
from registering their cars in California, kept in Mexico with smog
exemption while they still commute to California for work etc.... If
the car(s) is kept in other cities other than those listed in the
civil code, you simply fill out and sign "A Statement of Fact"
affidavit, stating the car is kept and used exclusively in "whatever
city" in Mexico other than those listed and the registration is
valid. The reason that this is so important is because this offers
you current "VALID" tags on your plates. The DMV does not issue new
valid tags for cars registered as "Non-Operational" which can become
a problem with local Mexican police (especially Highway Patrol) if
you are pulled over while driving with expired tags, which is a
violation in California as well. Hope this information is helpful
getting and keeping your car(s) legally registered. Contact me with
any questions..... peloncito@mac.com
