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.
