The official explained that, only in the first year of the program, the goal of one million documents issued was exceeded and a collection of 2,341.7 million pesos was achieved.
“As of November 16, we already have one million, 390,606 permanent licenses issued, this is 40% more than the goal, even though there are still six weeks left until the end of the year,” he stated.
De Botton added that in recent days attendance at the treasury and Mobility Secretariat modules increased up to 60%, which generated long lines due to the proximity of the closing of the originally scheduled period, which was December 31, 2025, so this expansion of the program will give more time for users to complete their procedure with the least possible discomfort.
“We want to give peace of mind to the residents of the capital, that if they have commitments in December or if they cannot go to obtain their license in these weeks, they can do it during the next year, this was part of the decision,” he said.
More resources for CDMX
Juan Pablo de Botton announced that the expansion of the permanent license program will be included in the tax code, as part of the 2026 economic package that is about to be delivered to the Congress of Mexico City, which he hopes will be accepted by all parliamentary groups and associations.
He said that the proposal is that during 2026 one million permanent licenses will be processed, which is equivalent to obtaining 1,500 million additional pesos to the 2,341.7 million already obtained in the first period.
“All these resources have no other destination than a specific trust for road safety, non-motorized mobility and public transportation, as established in the tax code,” he highlighted.
The official clarified that the permanent license will not have modifications or updates, so in 2026 the cost of 1,500 will be maintained.
“We must remember that the procedures are 100% free, the fee is only paid in official places and something very important, there are no other types of payments neither inside nor outside the modules to obtain this document,” he emphasized.
De Botton pointed out that the digitalization of procedures and payments is advancing rapidly in Mexico City, since, so far in 2025 alone, 400,000 permanent licenses have been managed through the online portal or mobile application, which is equivalent to 28% of the total.
