Mexico City's Secretariat of Mobility (Semovi) has announced that the registration and regularization process for electric personal mobility vehicles (VEMEPE and VEP) is ongoing. This initiative, launched on July 1, requires owners of certain electric scooters and bikes to register their vehicles to obtain license plates.

The registration applies to two categories: VEMEPEs, which have electric motors between 250 watts and 1 kilowatt and can exceed 25 km/h, and VEPs, with motors under 250 watts and a maximum speed of 25 km/h. Both types are subject to the new regulations.

To complete the registration, vehicle owners must submit an official ID, proof of ownership, a digital fiscal receipt (CFDI), and a recent proof of address in Mexico City. Foreigners can use their passport or residency cards. After document validation and payment, owners of VEMEPEs will receive license plates, a circulation card, and an electric mobility badge. VEP owners will receive the electric mobility badge and registration confirmation.
