To undergo the vehicle inspection in the state of Mexico, you need to register for an appointment through the online registration service for inspections.

In Mexico, inspections take place once at a designated period depending on your location. In the state’s capital, inspections occur every six months, meaning twice a year. For example, in February, inspections are done for vehicles with pink stickers and license plates numbered 7 and 8, as well as those with yellow stickers and license plates numbered 5 and 6. Don’t forget to familiarize yourself with the inspection calendar for the first half of 2025 and fulfill your ecological obligations.
To undergo the vehicle inspection in Mexico, start with the online procedure by entering the details of your vehicle on the official inspection centers website. Click on "Here to Register," fill in the necessary information, then visit the designated inspection facility on the specified date and time.
The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that your vehicle adheres to emissions and control components regarding pollution in the surrounding environment. In Mexico, the inspection is conducted depending on the color of the sticker on your vehicle or the issuance of the license plate. For example, in February, they inspect vehicles with yellow and pink stickers whose last numbers are 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Certificates and stickers obtained through voluntary inspections remain valid until their expiration dates, which will come six months later. Vehicles with double stickers “00” are exempt from mandatory inspections for the following three semesters.
If the number in your vehicle's license plate does not end in a digit, you will need to undergo inspection corresponding to digits 9 or 0. Keep in mind that if you miss an inspection, you will not be able to drive your vehicle and will be required to pay a fine for overdue inspection, calculated based on the units of measurement and updates, which was postponed to 2025.
By facilitating the vehicle inspection, you can contribute to environmental preservation and avoid fines for non-compliance. Be responsible and stay updated on changes in the inspection calendar for your region.
