Hey, I just found out that since February, traffic fines in Veracruz have increased a lot. It turns out that the DGTSV updated everything according to the UMA 2026, which is now 117.31 pesos. Basically, everything has become more expensive.

What surprised me the most is the one about driving without a valid license. For private drivers, the fine ranges between 1,876 and 3,519 pesos, but if you're a public transport driver, it’s worse: from 3,636 to 4,692 pesos. And that’s without counting aggravating factors like repeat offenses or alcohol involvement.

The only good thing is that if you pay within the first business days, you get a 50% discount. But anyway, fines in Veracruz are becoming more and more costly. Fines for speeding, using a cell phone while driving, and parking where you shouldn’t have also increased. Basically, all Veracruz infractions were affected by this adjustment.

If your license is expired or you have something pending, it’s better to get it sorted out quickly. It’s not worth taking those risks now that costs are at their peak.
