Mexico City Unveils Optional World Cup 2026 License Plates

Priced at 1,500 pesos, the limited-run plates will be ordered online in January with delivery from February to support mobility funding.

Overview

  • Officials presented three designs in yellow, white and black featuring the city’s World Cup ajolote motif for private automobiles only.
  • The plates carry full legal validity and add modern security elements, including a QR code linked to vehicle data.
  • Holders can switch without paying separate deregistration or registration fees, though outstanding fines must still be settled.
  • City leaders outlined a phased rollout that targets same‑day issuance or delivery within three days once distribution begins in February 2026.
  • Authorities stated a limit of 60,000 plates, while one outlet reported 160,000, and the city projects roughly 90 million pesos in proceeds for mobility programs.
