Overview

Check a vehicle’s fines and infractions across the integrated official Mexican sources with a single plate lookup. Every record keeps its context: authority, folio, amount, status and lookup date, exactly as the source publishes them.

Use cases

  • Review vehicles during fleet onboarding
  • Prepare lookups for multi-state operations
  • Support vehicle assessment workflows

Coverage and availability

Coverage is defined by entity and authority: the entity articles on this page detail which source is queried in each state and municipality, and every response reports which sources were queried and which did not answer. Some sources, such as Yucatán’s, require the VIN as well as the plate.

Coverage by jurisdiction

Authorities queried, articles with proprietary data and use cases by province and municipality.

33 jurisdictions · 14 authorities queried

What to consider

  • Required inputs will be defined per source; a plate must be interpreted with enough context to avoid ambiguous vehicle searches.
  • Different statuses or concepts must not be merged simply because authorities use similar descriptions.
  • A recorded fine, a lookup with no records and a temporarily unavailable source must remain distinct outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Does one lookup include every state?

A lookup walks the integrated sources of the requested entities and returns the result split by authority, with a partial-result flag whenever one does not answer. The entity articles list the source queried in each state and municipality.

Can I use this API for other vehicle procedures?

The API focuses on traffic infractions. Other procedures or vehicle records require their own products and sources; they are not included simply because they use the same plate.

What does APINITRO need to integrate?

The relevant entities or authorities, vehicle types and monthly volume; with that information access and credentials are enabled for the integration. Actual plates and personal documents are not needed to begin.
