Mexico City issues over 10,000 World Cup commemorative license plates

Mexico City's Secretariat of Mobility (Semovi) has successfully processed 10,584 commemorative license plates for the 2026 World Cup. This milestone highlights public engagement with the special edition plates, designed to mark the global soccer event hosted in part by Mexico.

The distribution of these plates shows a clear preference for the black design, with 7,401 issued. The white design followed with 2,899 plates, and the yellow design was the least requested, with 867 applications. These numbers reflect the public's choices for personalizing their vehicles with the World Cup theme.

Semovi has facilitated these applications through both online channels and physical service modules. The primary module at Universidad in Walmart Universidad saw 2,380 applications, while the Cuauhtémoc module processed 3,032. Other significant locations include Cabeza de Juárez Iztapalapa with 1,491 applications and the macro module at San Andrés Tetepilco in Iztapalapa, which handled the largest volume at 4,264.

Applying for these special plates requires proof of vehicle ownership, a recent Mexico City utility bill, a valid official ID, and a payment of 1,500 pesos. An additional 336 pesos covers home delivery if requested. For those who visit the authorized modules, the plates can be obtained without extra delivery charges, with an estimated delivery time of two to three business days.
