President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced the extension of the illegal vehicle registration deadline until March
Mexican President announced the extension of the deadline of illegal vehicle registration for three months.
The deadline went from January 1 to March 31, 2023.
Jesús Alejandro Ruiz Uribe, Mexico’s federal delegate in Baja California, said the extension was announced Friday by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Ruiz Uribe said the decree will be published shortly.
The Mexican government plans to provide families three months to regularize their cars .
Baja California leads the regularization with over 221,000 legalized vehicles.
These vehicles were registered from March 19 until December 28.
Baja California has raised over 554 million pesos from registration fees.
Nationwide, the authorities have registered over 1.4 million vehicles that have produced 2.6 billion pesos.
Federal Delegate Ruiz said registration funds must be allocated in the participating states for patching and paving programs, mainly.
«This measure provides patrimonial certainty to families and legality. «But the most important thing contributes to the security strategy, because many of these vehicles are used by criminals to evade justice,” Ruiz Uribe said.
Governor speaks
Separately, Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda celebrated the presidential decision to extend the Decree for the Regularization of Vehicles of Foreign Origin until March 31, 2023.
The governor said the State has sufficient staff to maintain registration processing.
The governor said so far more than 230,000 vehicles have been regularized in the State.
Baja California is first in illegal vehicle registration, Avila Olmeda said.
The authorities plan to increase the flow of regularization during the first quarter of 2023, the governor said.
In most cases, illegally imported vehicles are used by low-income people.
Treasury
Baja California Secretary of the Treasury Marco Antonio Moreno Mexía highlighted the coordination with the Government of Mexico to move forward with appointments set at the modules of the Public Vehicle Registry (REPUVE in Spanish) in the State.
Moreno Mexía reiterated that the joint work with the federal administration will continue to give greater benefit to the citizens interested in regularizing their automobiles.
