If you haven’t done your vehicular verification yet, it’s high time to take it seriously. February is looming, and with it come some unexpected changes to the program that you should be aware of. So, let’s dive into the recommendations, calendar, and advice you need to know.
Should all cars do vehicular verification?
The main goal of this process is to reduce pollution emissions by controlling and managing the cars that circulate in urban areas. Therefore, verifying your car is an environmental obligation. But, not everyone needs to do it – there are certain exceptions. For instance, motorcycles need a mandatory certificate in Edomex, and electric and hybrid cars are exempt since they don’t produce polluting gases. All other vehicles, however, have to comply with this procedure, which will have some changes in February.
Exceptions to the rule
Let’s take a closer look at the exceptions:
– Motorcycles: They require a mandatory certificate in Edomex.
– Electric and hybrid cars: These don’t need to undergo verification since they don’t produce polluting gases.
The rest of the vehicles, though, need to follow the verification process, which is about to see some adjustments in February.
This was the February 2025 verification calendar
For this month, there are some crucial adjustments in the calendar that you must take into account. The authorities have established a monthly calendar, classified by plate termination and gummed color, to avoid congestion and long lines of waiting. Remember, if you’re waiting to carry out this procedure, it’s essential to keep in mind that for yellow cars with 5 and 6 plate, February is the last month to do this procedure before you have to pay more.
Here are the colors and plate terminations that correspond to February:
– Yellow gum (plates finished at 5 or 6): You have until February 28, 2025, to perform the verification.
– Pink gum (plates finished at 7 or 8): You can verify in February and March, with a deadline on March 31, 2025.
For your ease, here’s the complete calendar of the first semester of 2025:
– January-February: Yellow gum (plates finished at 5 or 6)
– February-March: Pink gum (plates finished at 7 or 8)
– March-April: Red gum (plates finished in 3 or 4)
– April-May: Green gum (plates finished in 1 or 2)
– May-June: Blue gum (plates finished at 9 or 0)
Step by step to make your vehicular verification
It’s a fairly straightforward process that won’t take up too much of your time. It’s preferable to do it on time so you don’t have to pay a fine. So, follow these steps:
1. Enter the Edomex portal to generate your online appointment.
2. Complete the form and select the verification center that suits you, with date and time.
3. Take your official identification, circulation card, proof of last verification, or fine payment receipt if necessary.
4. Make the payment in the Verification Center box. In CDMX, the price is 738 pesos, equivalent to 5625 units of measurement and update (UMA) plus 16% VAT.
Before checking, ensure your car is in good mechanical state, including previous maintenance like oil and filter change, revision of tires, and any component you feel is failing. The verification process is not complicated; it’s something routine that helps improve the city’s air quality, which has a positive impact on the air breathed, benefiting all inhabitants.
Facing this procedure assures you that your car is in order and contributes to a cleaner and safer environment for all. In the case of other states, such as Jalisco, there are specific requirements to be aware of. With the changes and calendar of February, you’ll have the possibility of fulfilling this obligation quickly and easily. Keep the limits in mind so you don’t have to pay a fine. Don’t miss the time and perform your verification before it’s too late.
