Veracruz vehicle registration and license plate program

Overview

The Veracruz government has initiated a multi-year program to replace vehicle license plates to update the state registry and improve public security. Miguel Santiago Reyes Hernández, head of the Secretariat of Finance and Planning, announced that the next phase is scheduled for 2027, targeting vehicles with plates issued between 2019 and 2022. This follows an ongoing process for older plates that has reportedly reached an 80 percent completion rate.

While officials state the goal is to strengthen vehicle identification and tracking rather than increasing revenue, the program has faced practical challenges. In Córdoba, residents have reported significant delays in obtaining plates for foreign vehicles. Some citizens have had to pay monthly fees for temporary circulation permits due to administrative delays and long lines at local offices.
