I just checked the verification schedule in Edomex and realized that the deadline has passed for those with yellow stickers, but if you have plates 7 or 8 with a pink sticker, you still have time until March 31st. I don’t recommend letting this slide because the fines are quite hefty, around 3,394 pesos if you’re late. What bothers me most is that after paying the fine, you still have to get the verification anyway, so you end up spending double.

For the Edomex verification, the cost depends on the type of hologram you need. If your car emits little pollution, you get a 0 hologram for about 610 pesos or so. Those that pollute more pay up to 1,196 pesos for the 00 hologram. And there are some exempt vehicles that don’t pay anything. The important thing is to make an appointment in advance because the centers fill up quickly. They operate Monday through Friday until 7 PM and on Saturdays until 3 PM.

When you go, bring your vehicle registration, the proof of the last verification, and if your car is new, the invoice. If you’ve already missed the deadline, also get the receipt for the fine. Seriously, it’s not worth letting this pile up; it’s better to handle it now and forget about the issue. The cost of the Edomex verification is fixed, but the fine adds up if you don’t act quickly.
