Aduanasin Mexico City is responsible for canceling existing permits, and Banjercito needs their authorization to proceed with those cases in which the document has been lost, especially if the person who applied for it in the past is not available. There are currently two options allowing new owners to cancel an existing TIP from a previous owner:
A) Mail paperwork to Mexico City
What you need:
1. Proof that the vessel is in the United States. It must include the boat description, registration and hull number, name (if applicable), physical address of the boat, and owner's information. Ideally, this is satisfied with the dispatch form from Mexican customs from the vessel's last trip to Mexico. You may send a copy of the marina contract/invoice, slip receipts, US customs receipt,or any documentation that serves as proof of the vessel being in the U.S., however, please contact them in advance to confirm that your documentation will be valid if you are not providing the distpatch form.
2. Proof of ownership (Certificate of Documentation, registration).If the vessel is company owned, you must include a copy of the articles of incorporation and/or POA authorizing you to act as a legal representative in Mexico.
3. Color copy of your passport.
4. Letter explaining why the existing permit is not available, introduce yourself as the current owner, and request a cancellation of the existing permit.
