The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service to allow U.S. citizens and nationals traveling abroad to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
If your tourist card was lost or stolen in Mexico, go to the nearest Immigration office in order to obtain a replacement or an exit permit (depending on your date of entry). If it was stolen, you will be asked for a police report so be sure to do that first.
According to the Mexican National Institute of Immigration (INM), you should file a police report to document the loss or theft of your tourist card, then head to the nearest INM office with your passport or other identification, police report and travel documents.
You will be asked to fill in a form, then you will have to go to the bank to make your payment for the replacement of your tourist card, and return to the INM office with proof of payment to complete the process and receive your replacement tourist card.
If your time in Mexico is short you may decide that the time involved in completing this process eats too much into your precious vacation time.
In that case you may decide to wait until you’re leaving the country and pay a fine at the airport for failure to present a tourist card (around $40 USD).
A practical tip is to lock up your passport and tourist card in a safe place and just carry a copy around.
