Also do they give out numbers or is it first come first serve.  What docs are required for 2nd report.  Thank you.

Numbers - front desk - after showing you filled out a TM-30 form.  The number-system was independent of the electronic-number-system, when I was last there - little pieces of paper or plastic-tags with numbers on them. 

Before, you didn't have to re-fill a TM-30 - now you do.  But when you get to the TM-30 officer's desk, explain that you are returning to the Same Residence As Before, and should not have to show the full-stack of paperwork - just copies and original of the last TM-30 slip and copies of your most-recent passport-stamp-in and TM-6.  I bring the full-stack of paperwork (rental-contract, etc - or whatever you used the 1st time), just in case that changes.

The TM30 desk starts processing at 8:30. But if you want number 1 or close to it, I suggest you get there at 8am.

Oh my Buddha, been there at 7:30 or so and been number 25 in line....just go during mid week....it is a crap shoot at best...lol...?

Where do you get the TM30 form to fill out when you get there at 8 a.m.?

The front desk will give you one.  The little shop on the left before you go in the front door sometimes has forms also.

Download it, print it and complete it before going. TM30 Form Notification of aliens staying at a residence

Thx for the TM30 download. The 2d page is landscape, is it necessary? can it be printed on back of the 1st (with proper setup)?

It has to be printed as 2 sheets. Have a look at the receipt portion on the 1st page that will torn or cut off to understand why.

The 2nd page is where you enter your personal info.

OK, clear. Print 2 pages, 2d in landscape.
