Dr. Reyes: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss such a significant topic for our city.
Interviewer: Let’s dive in. On October 30, the Mexico City Congress approved the reintroduction of the permanent type “A” driver’s license. Can you explain the significance of this decision?
Dr. Reyes: Absolutely. The reintroduction of the permanent driver’s license is monumental. It reflects a shift towards simplifying the licensing process for drivers. Since this type of license was canceled in 2007, many residents who drive private vehicles have faced challenges in obtaining or renewing their licenses. By reinstating it, the government is making it easier for citizens to comply with driving regulations.
Interviewer: Interesting! What are some key features of this new permanent license?
Dr. Reyes: Well, the new license will cost 1,500 pesos, and it’s specifically for private vehicle drivers. Furthermore, the local government has committed to allocating the funds collected through the licensing process toward improving public transportation and mobility infrastructure. This is a great step, as it shows a commitment to reinvest in the city’s transportation systems.
Interviewer: When can residents start applying for this license?
Dr. Reyes: Applications will open on November 16, and residents will need to prepare a few things. To obtain the permanent license, applicants must present an official ID, proof of address, and they will need to pass a mandatory theoretical exam if they are applying for the first time.

People can book appointments through the CDMX Chatbot, the SEMOVI appointment system, and Locatel. This accessibility is crucial in reducing congestion at testing sites and ensures that the process is organized.
Interviewer: That’s a promising step! And where can people go to take their exams?
Dr. Reyes: Applicants can take their theoretical exams at SEMOVI modules, PILLARS, and Utopias. This broad range of locations should help accommodate the needs of residents across the city.
Interviewer: what do you see as the broader implications of this policy?
Dr. Reyes: Reintroducing the permanent driver’s license is not just about issuing licenses; it’s about promoting responsible driving and improving overall road safety. By tying the license fees to public transportation improvements, the government is also promoting a more integrated transportation system, which can potentially reduce traffic and improve the quality of life in Mexico City.
