The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) , in September 2025, an agreement establishing administrative simplification actions for various procedures related to federal motor transport .

The document contemplates the merging of homoclaves, updating of requirements, elimination of some procedures and the digitization of processes before the General Directorate of Federal Motor Transport , with the objective of reducing resolution times and modernizing the administrative management of the sector .

However, in practice, there have been reports of delays in some procedures.

A vehicle deregistration request submitted last November (2025) remains unresolved. The explanation given is that “the system doesn’t allow it,” and there has been no formal determination regarding the final status of the process, Eucario Reyes, president of the National Association of Representation in Motor Transport (ANRA) , told T21 .

According to Reyes, the number of similar cases exceeds 300 , primarily related to vehicle registration changes—transactions that replace or update a vehicle in the registry—as well as license plate registration procedures, that is, the assignment or change of federal license plates. These procedures remain on hold while technical teams conduct internal system validations.

One of the documents consulted indicates that the procedure “is not rejected” and that it will remain in prevention status until the Directorate of Technological Innovation and Systems Operation resolves the matter.

Reyes added that, during the submission of some procedures, they have been told at the window that a notarized power of attorney is not always necessary; however, in later stages the system may require validations related to legal representation or with the linking of the Federal Taxpayer Registry (RFC) of the permit holder and that of the attorney, which —he explained— may delay the conclusion of the procedure.

The agreement published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) establishes actions aimed at administrative simplification; however, the operational implementation of the new digital processes will be crucial for these objectives to be effectively reflected in the daily management of the sector.

According to the document, the SICT will carry out the necessary procedures to make the adjustments and updates to the formats, electronic systems, reception methods, platforms, databases and procedures.
