One of the popular programs that senior citizens in Mexico can  apply for is the INAPAM (Instituto Nacional para las Personas Adultas Mayores) discount card. This is offered to all Mexicans and foreign residents who are 60 years of age or older and enables them to enjoy worthwhile discounts on a whole range of goods and services including food, medicines, transport, clothing, as well as recreation and leisure activities.

Below is the form with the list of requirements needed to apply.

No one at the office speaks English. Anyone going will need to take a translator with them. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes  at the DIF office, plus wait time if they are busy. They will prepare the card while you wait. Check that the information they type is correct. I needed to go back and get my last name printed correctly.

There is no fee for this card.
