We have been trying to obtain a Federal and State Police clearance from Mexico since Sept 2010, it has been almost impossible. After our 5th attempt we hired a translator to call the State Quintana Roo to find out why our applications weren't being answered, the translator has been working with them and we are now on the final stages of obtaining the State clearance.
We have been asked to pay the processing fee of $115 mexican pesos into a HSBC bank account in Mexico, make the deposit and attach the slip to the paperwork. The payment has to be made directly into the bank account, no wire transfer or bank draft. This is impossible to do from Canada, the account number is not recognised at HSBC here.
Has anyone else come across this and how did they manage to pay the processing fee. I have called the Mexican Consulate in Canada, the Canadian Consulate in Mexico, the British Embassy in Mexico, HSBC in Mexico City and asked for advise. Everyone is suggesting the same thing find someone in Mexico to pay it......not sure how to do this as we don't know anyone there, we lived there 11 years ago for only 8 months!
Looking for suggestions if anyone else has been through this process, please help
