Overview

• Semovi issued a clarification on August 24 after false social posts claimed a half-price offer for INAPAM cardholders and people with disabilities.
• The fee to obtain the permanent Type A license remains 1,500 pesos in 2025 for first-time applicants and those with prior licenses, with no special discounts.
• Officials stressed that information on costs, requirements and appointments must be consulted exclusively through Semovi communications and the Llave CDMX platforms.
• The permanent license, introduced in late 2024, eliminates periodic renewals for qualifying drivers under the current policy.
• Applications are processed through Llave CDMX by completing the online form, uploading documents, paying the fee and scheduling an in-person visit if the physical card is required, with eligibility guidance including residency in CDMX or Estado de México and no active alcohol-related sanctions or negligent traffic convictions.
