DIGITAL FMM FOR PERMANENT RESIDENTS
INM National Institute of Immigration Agents at the Mexico airports are no longer giving the paper FMM FORMS. Instead, they give you only an entry and exit stamp on your passport and Initial RP, which stands for Residente Permanente (Permanent Resident).
TOURIST DIGITAL FMM: A Potential Problem for Permanent Residents
Suppose you omit to show your permanent resident card when you enter Mexico. Automatically, the INM agent will give you a TOURIST DIGITAL FMM. This is wrong, but if you do not mention you are a permanent resident, your immigration status will be revoked if you ever lose your permanent resident card and try to reinstate it. Unfortunately, all the fees must be paid in advance, and the final result will be a denial. The Mexico Immigration law prohibits having (2) immigration statuses simultaneously.
What happens if I forget or lose the Permanent Resident Card?
If you find out when you arrive at the airport, you must talk to an INM supervisor. You will be given instructions on replacing it at the local office where you first obtained it.
Can I Obtain an FMM FORM FOR TOURISM and later Replace the Permanent Resident Card?
No, if you do that, you will lose your Permanent Resident Status and start all over because, by law, you can not have two immigration statuses simultaneously.
Replacement Procedures for Lost Permanent Resident Cards Outside Mexico

The consulate will give you a Temporary Visa for 180 days. Then, you must go to the local IMN office in Mexico, where you first obtain the Permanent Resident Card and apply for a replacement.
