In July 2026, vehicle owners in Mexico City (CDMX) and the State of Mexico (Edomex) must undergo mandatory emissions inspections based on their license plate colors and endings. Vehicles with yellow stickers and plates ending in 5 or 6 are required to verify in July. Failure to comply could result in fines starting at 20 Units of Minimum Wage (UMAs). The inspection schedule continues through December, with specific dates depending on sticker color and plate numbers. Inspection fees vary by region and hologram type, with exemptions for electric vehicles, hybrids, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, motorcycles, and certain other categories. Authorities recommend scheduling appointments online and ensuring vehicles meet requirements before visiting inspection centers.
