Two official sources that do not match

We do not hide the difference: we show both figures with their source and date.

• Tamaulipas. The Treasury Law (amended August 18, 2026) gives 1,173.10, 4,692.40 and 117.31; the Civil Registry's 2026 official procedure sheet publishes 1,175, 4,693 and 118. The sheet does not ask for a medical certificate and marks witnesses as optional; the Civil Code (amended March 30, 2026) requires medical exams.

Sources and review date

• Fee: State Treasury Law, art. 62 (amended Aug 18, 2026). Requirements: Civil Code, art. 85 (amended Mar 30, 2026), and 2026 official procedure sheet.
• 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.

Reviewed on October 19, 2026 against primary official sources.

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.
