## INS will implement digital marchamo in Costa Rica starting in 2027

The Instituto Nacional de Seguros (INS) confirmed that the new digital marchamo will begin to be implemented in Costa Rica starting with the 2027 marchamo collection, marking one of the most significant changes in the country's vehicular system in recent years.

The measure seeks to modernize the control of the right of circulation and progressively eliminate the traditional physical sticker currently used by thousands of Costa Rican drivers.

The announcement is already generating interest among people looking for information on “marchamo Costa Rica,” “2027 marchamo price,” “marchamo increase,” and “INS digital marchamo.”

## What is the new digital marchamo?

The digital marchamo will allow for electronic verification of whether a vehicle has its right of circulation up to date, without the need to carry the physical sticker on the windshield.

According to authorities, the main objective is to facilitate vehicle control processes, streamline verifications, and modernize systems related to traffic and road safety in Costa Rica.

Although all technical details have not yet been released, the digital system would be part of a technological transformation strategy driven by the INS and other institutions.

## The 2027 marchamo would have an increase

In addition to the digital implementation, it was also anticipated that the payment for the right of circulation would have an increase for the 2027 period.

For the moment, authorities have not confirmed how much the cost of the marchamo will increase or which specific items will have changes, but many drivers are already showing concern about the economic impact this could represent.

Each year, the marchamo includes different components such as:

- Mandatory Automobile Insurance (SOA)
- Property tax
- Pending fines
- Contributions and stamps

## How to prepare for the 2027 marchamo?

Specialists recommend:

- Keeping fines and vehicle obligations up to date.
- Checking the general condition of the vehicle.
- Preparing a budget in light of potential increases.
- Staying attentive to official communications from the INS.

For many people, this could also be a good time to change vehicles before taking on new annual costs.

Authorities will provide more information during the coming months regarding:

- Digital marchamo operation
- Payment methods
- Changes in enforcement
