The Mexican government doesn't use the matricula card for identification, it uses the IFE card ----I don't really see the full reason they are issuing a special card for the purposes of living in the US. If a bank wants to accept real Mexican identification cards, why wouldn't they just use what is used by them in their own country? A Mexican in Mexico does not present a matricula card at all to open a bank account there, it seems like our banks could just accept the same types of ID if they're so eager to allow these accounts.That raises an interesting question: Can a Mexican holding a matricula open an account with a Mexican bank. My guess would be no, because the physical address on the document is the illegal's US address.

The matricula care isn't used at all in Mexico ---they already had an identification system they use ----birth certificates and the IFE card --- sometimes Guatemalans are picked up that way ----they will sometimes purchase a fake birth certificate but if the Mexican police looking for illegals look for the IFE card. The matricula card is useless in Mexico.
