CDMX Confirms Permanent Driver’s License Deadline and Price as Hours Are Extended to Meet Demand

No Buen Fin discounts are planned, with a finance study set to decide whether the offer continues in 2026.

Overview

  • The application window remains set to close on December 31, 2025, with no extension announced by city authorities.
  • The permanent license costs 1,500 pesos and is available to residents of both Mexico City and the State of Mexico.
  • Semovi service modules now operate from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to handle the surge in applications reported since the program’s return.
  • First‑time applicants must create a Llave CDMX account, pass a 20‑question theory exam, generate a payment line, and attend a scheduled appointment, while holders of a prior Type A license are exempt from the exam.
  • The Secretary of Finance will present a study to the head of government to inform a near‑term decision on whether the program continues in 2026.
