Two official sources that do not match

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

• Tlaxcala. Besides the wedding, you pay for the application and for publishing the marriage notice (938.48), which can be waived by paying 469.24. The application costs 586.55 (5 UMA) in the Congress text of the Financial Code, with amendments up to November 28, 2025, and 469.24 (4 UMA) in the Legal Counsel's (Consejería Jurídica) text, with amendments up to December 18, 2024. We could not read the original decree in the Official Gazette.

Sources and review date

• Fee: Financial Code, art. 157 (amended Nov 28, 2025). Requirements: Civil Code, art. 608 Bis (last amended Jun 18, 2024).
• 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.
