What is the 2025 Vehicle Replacement Program in Edomex?
The 2025 Vehicle Replacement Program in the State of Mexico is a crucial initiative aimed at enhancing public safety and providing legal, fiscal, and property certainty to Mexican residents. This program offers several benefits to participating taxpayers:
- Regularize your assets.
- Obtain current vehicle plates and circulation cards.
- Ensure your vehicle is fully identifiable on the road.
- Increase the resale value of your vehicle if you are up-to-date.
- Contribute to public safety and aid in investigations of crimes committed using vehicles.
Who and When Should Replace Their Vehicles?
The vehicle replacement program will be active from April 1 to August 31, 2025. It targets owners of:
- Private vehicles with plates issued in 2020.
- Vehicles with 2019 or earlier plates that haven’t been renewed in 2024.
Vehicle plate validity is five years from the issuance date. You can check this on the State of Mexico Taxpayer Services Portal.
Regarding who should apply for the replacement:
The State of Mexico’s Secretariat of Finance, Planning, and Administration (SFPYA) has organized the replacement process according to plate color and termination:
- April: plates ending in 1 and 2
- May: plates ending in 3 and 4
- June: plates ending in 5 and 6
