Delays mark the renewal of the 2025-2026 sticker: more than 1.4 million vehicles remain unregistered
Santo Domingo.– Although the renewal process for the Vehicle Circulation Tax (marbete) 2025-2026 is in its final stage, more than 1.4 million vehicles have not yet been renewed, according to data provided by the General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) at the end of December 2025.
The DGII reported that, as of December 26, only 641,045 owners had complied with the payment of the tax, equivalent to 30.71% of the eligible vehicle fleet, estimated at 2,086,756 units. This means that nearly 70% of drivers have still not completed the process, just over a month before the deadline.
The official figures indicate a cumulative collection of RD$1,106,493,000, still far from the total projection of RD$3,433,806,000 that the State expects for this concept. The process began on October 21, 2025 and will conclude on January 31, 2026.
Although the DGII has enabled various facilities to expedite payment, most taxpayers continue to leave the process for the last moment, a practice that historically generates crowds, delays and complaints at the payment points.
The most used method continues to be authorized banking. Through 47 financial institutions, with 856 branches, 529,699 renewals have been registered, with a collection of RD$886,587,000.
In contrast, digital payment, one of the main bets of the DGII to reduce lines—barely registers 85,735 renewals, which shows a low adoption of electronic channels, despite the fact that they will be available until January 18, 2026.
The sticker amounts remain unchanged: RD$1,500 for vehicles manufactured up to 2019 and RD$3,000 for models from 2020 onwards. However, the authorities reiterated that those who do not renew within the deadline must assume surcharges ranging from RD$2,000 to RD$3,100, depending on the year owed.
