People in Mexico City who wish to obtain a permanent driver's license have until Wednesday, December 31, 2025, to complete their process. This document will allow them to have a valid license indefinitely without the need to renew it or pay again for their entire life, and it costs 1,500 pesos.
To apply for this license, one can schedule an appointment on the Mobility Secretariat (SEMOVI) portal or go to a module of the agency, as well as in PILARES and UTOPÍAS. Those obtaining the license for the first time must take a theoretical exam that evaluates their general knowledge on issues related to mobility laws.
Those interested in taking the exam online can follow these steps: - Access the appropriate website. - Log in with the CDMX Key or create one if you don’t have it. - Select “New process” and then “I have never processed a type A license.” - It is recommended to take a course that provides a basic 19-page road safety guide with information on speed limits and traffic signs. - In each attempt, you have 25 minutes to complete the exam and you have two opportunities per day.
It is essential to answer all questions before the allocated time ends, and once the exam has started, the timer cannot be stopped. This is a necessary process to obtain a permanent driver's license in Mexico City before the established deadline.
