Vehicle emissions verification late fines and steps in Mexico City and State of Mexico, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico City and State of Mexico, Mexico): Did you miss your vehicle verification deadline? If so, you must pay a fine for completing the procedure late and then pass the emissions review.
In 2026, the penalty is 20 UMA in Mexico City (CDMX) and 30 UMA in the State of Mexico (Edomex), according to the official portals of both entities.
In Mexico City, the Secretariat of Administration and Finance publishes a cost of 2,346.20 pesos for the late verification fine. The payment is generated through a capture line on its portal.
In the State of Mexico, the Secretariat of Security states a penalty of 30 UMA. Using the daily value of 117.31 pesos published by INEGI for 2026, the equivalent is 3,519.30 pesos; the amount you must cover is the one indicated on the official payment form.
To regularize a vehicle with Mexico City plates, follow this procedure:
In CDMX, the fine payment is valid for 30 natural days, counted from the day after payment, to carry out and pass the vehicle verification.
The Mexico State program sets the following steps for late verification:
The State of Mexico deadline is 15 days, not 30. It also starts counting from the payment; waiting for the payment to appear in the system does not restart that period.
Paying the fine does not authorize unrestricted circulation. In CDMX, the Hoy No Circula restrictions and environmental contingencies continue, with the specific conditions set for going to the verification center with a valid appointment.
In the State of Mexico, the program allows travel to the verification center on the day of the appointment, with the corresponding form and proof of payment, and requires compliance with the applicable Hoy No Circula restrictions and environmental contingencies. Therefore, getting back on track requires both paying the penalty and passing the verification within the established deadline.
