Overview
- The special lifetime license remains available through December 31, 2025 for a one-time fee of 1,500 pesos, after which only the three-year option at about 1,099 pesos returns unless officials approve an extension.
- Online appointment availability has largely dried up, with reports of the Semovi system showing no slots, while government modules and Tesorería sites now operate daily from 09:00 to 21:00, including the Magdalena Mixhuca macromodule on weekends.
- The city has added tesorerías express and service centers to increase capacity, and officials recommend in-person kiosks as an alternative when digital scheduling is saturated.
- Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada is weighing a possible extension that depends on a Secretaría de Administración y Finanzas review of revenue and public demand.
- Eligibility requires being 18 or older with no prior CDMX-issued license, passing a 20-question knowledge evaluation, presenting ID and proof of address; applicants with a registered Edomex domicile may qualify, and the permanent license does not cover motorcycles.
