Hermosillo: a municipal programme
Hermosillo announced technological enforcement equipment and an adaptation phase through the end of 2025, with municipal-regulation penalties from January 2026. This does not confirm every OSM point’s operation or a national fine. Check the place and regulation cited on the notice.

Mexico City: the Fotocívicas system
SEMOVI describes a points system attached to eligible vehicles, with civic sanctions that can include courses and community work. It is not a French-style driving-licence points system. The FAQ concerns Mexico City-registered vehicles owned by individuals: check whether your vehicle qualifies.

Do not generalise to foreign plates
Mexico City’s official materials distinguish plates from another state or country, legal entities and certain transport categories, which face financial penalties. Visitors should not assume a camera offence only requires a course. Use the portal and classification that actually apply to the notice.
