Overview
- City officials confirmed the permanent license program will end on December 31, 2026, giving residents the remainder of 2026 to apply under the current rules.
- More than 2.1 million permanent licenses have been issued since the relaunch, including about 1.2 million processed at Tesorería and roughly 500,000 delivered in digital format.
- Applicants must be 18 or older, show an official ID and proof of address, pay a 1,500-peso filing fee, use a Llave CDMX account for online steps, and first-time drivers must pass a 20-question theoretical exam.
- Authorities stress that receiving a permanent license does not erase prior traffic fines or sanctions and that serious or accumulated violations can lead to permanent cancellation of the license.
- Officials say program receipts have helped raise public investment in the first half of 2026 and will be directed to transport and road-safety projects, and they warn any change to the deadline will be announced officially.
