Beginning January 2, 2025, vehicle owners in Jalisco will have the opportunity to take advantage of the state government's newly announced 3x1 vehicle registration package. This initiative, promoted by Governor Pablo Lemus, aims to streamline the typically cumbersome process of vehicle registration by combining it with both new plates and required vehicle verification.
The Jalisco 3x1 package is particularly significant as it also introduces fees for electric and hybrid vehicles, which were previously exempt from vehicle registration fees. Governor Lemus emphasized this change during recent announcements, stating, "The vehicle registration will now include costs for electric vehicles, which were previously exempt." This change is part of the government’s broader effort to normalize annual registration fees across all vehicle types, including those powered by clean energy.
The introduction of this package is especially timely as many Jalisco residents prepare for their annual vehicle registration. For the 2025 registration period, the total cost of opting for the 3x1 package is set at 900 pesos. This is a remarkable deal as the separate fees for registration and verification would typically total around 3,500 pesos. The 3x1 package includes not only the registration fee but also new license plates and verification.
Residents can begin the registration process through the Jalisco government’s official website, where they will find the option under “Servicios Vehiculares.” Currently, the site is undergoing maintenance, but it will be ready for users by the engagement date. Once registered, residents can schedule their vehicle verification appointments through the Jalisco Verification Responsible page, making the process more efficient.
It is also important for vehicle owners to note the documents they will need to present during this registration process. Essential documentation includes legal identification, proof of residence not older than 90 days, a vehicle invoice, and, for those changing plates, the old plates themselves.
While this package offers extensive benefits, not all vehicles qualify for the 3x1 plan. Newer vehicles and those currently involved in legal procedures are excluded from this offer. This serves to encourage owners of older cars to comply with the new regulations and contribute to vehicle accountability within the state.
The verification schedule for 2025 aligns with the last digit on vehicle plates. The announced sequence for verification is as follows: vehicles ending with the number 1 will need to verify between January and February, those with 2 between February and March, and so forth, culminating with vehicles ending with 0 verifying between November and December. This structured timetable is intended to streamline the verification process, making it manageable for both vehicle owners and efficient for the administrative apparatus of the state.
Overall, the launch of this 3x1 vehicle registration package signifies the Jalisco government's commitment to modernizing vehicle registration processes, improving environmental accountability, and fostering compliance among vehicle owners. Jalisco residents are advised to take advantage of this cost-effective initiative starting January 2, 2025, ensuring their vehicles are properly registered, verified, and compliant with environmental standards.
