A figure that depends on how the charges add up

• Durango. The law charges a separate registration form of 0.5 UMA (58.66 pesos) and does not specify whether it is added to the wedding.

Sources and review date

• Fee: State Treasury Law, art. 128 (amended Dec 14, 2025). Requirements: Civil Code, arts. 94 and 151 (amended Jun 7, 2026).
• UMA. Fees in UMA were converted at 117.31 pesos, the 2026 daily value, and rounded to the cent. We did not average or estimate any figure.

Limitations

• What we infer. When we say a requirement "does not appear" in a code or a procedure sheet, that is all it means: it is not in the text we read. It is not a rule that prohibits it.

Fees are updated every year. Before you pay, confirm with your registry office.
