Crossing into Mexico at the San Ysidro/Tijuana(El Chaparral) Crossing 2
I keep coming back to this. I need to know for sure what paperwork I'm required to present when I cross into Mexico. This matters because (1) I don't have the title to my AT and (2) I have to think most people don't have the title to their vehicle, so I need someone to lay it out for me very clearly.

Banjercito Vehicle Permit - If you get this, then you'll be able to drive anywhere in Mexico for 6 months.
Bring the original plus two(2) copies of the following documents:
- Valid proof of foreign citizenship (passport, birth certificate or voter registration card ). I have a valid Passport.
- The appropriate immigration form (tourist card). I'm guessing that this is the Mexico Visitor Permit (FMM - Forma Migratoria Múltiple)
- Note: When entering Mexican territory, you must first apply for a tourist visa at the National Institute of Migration. Your vehicle permit will be issued for a period equal to that of your tourist visa.
- The valid vehicle registration certificate, or a document, such as the original title that certifies the legal ownership of the vehicle. It must be in the driver's name. I have the vehicle registration.
Credit contract from the financing institution or an invoice letter with a validity not older then 3 months (if the vehicle is not paid off).The leasing contract (if the vehicle is leased or rented) which must be in the name of the person importing the car. If the vehicle belongs to a company, present the document that certifies the employee works for the company.- A valid driver's license, issued outside Mexico. I have this.
- An international credit card, also issued outside Mexico (Visa, MasterCard or American Express), in the name of the driver of the vehicle. I have this.
So, it doesn't look to me like I need the title to my vehicle.
