CIUDAD JUÁREZ, August 4, 2026 – The campaign “Licencias Cerca de Ti” (Licenses Close to You) has commenced in Ciudad Juárez, offering a mobile module service for driver’s license renewals directly in local S-Mart supermarkets. This initiative, which will run throughout August, aims to provide a more convenient and accessible way for residents to renew their driving permits without the need to visit traditional government offices.
“Licencias Cerca de Ti” Campaign Brings Convenience to Residents
The program, spearheaded by local authorities, addresses the common challenge of long queues and limited access to official licensing centers. By deploying mobile units to popular retail locations, the government seeks to streamline the renewal process and improve citizen satisfaction. The S-Mart supermarket chain has partnered with the authorities to host these modules at various branches across Ciudad Juárez.
How the Mobile Module Operates
Citizens wishing to renew their driver’s licenses can visit the designated S-Mart stores during operational hours. The mobile module is equipped to handle all necessary procedures for renewal, including document verification, photo capture, and fee payment. This approach significantly reduces the time and effort typically associated with license renewal, making it a more efficient experience for the public.
Salvador Miranda, a representative involved in the initiative, highlighted the importance of bringing essential services closer to the community. “Our goal is to eliminate barriers and make government services as accessible as possible,” Miranda stated. “The ‘Licencias Cerca de Ti’ campaign is a direct response to the needs of Ciudad Juárez residents, allowing them to complete a vital civic duty while performing their daily errands.”
Positive Impact Expected on Citizen Engagement
The campaign is anticipated to have a positive impact on the city’s administrative efficiency and citizen engagement. By decentralizing the license renewal process, it is expected to reduce congestion at main government offices and encourage more timely renewals, thereby ensuring a higher percentage of licensed drivers on the roads.
The schedule for the mobile modules at different S-Mart locations will be announced weekly through local media and on official government websites to ensure that all residents are aware of the nearest available service points. This proactive communication strategy is crucial for the success of the campaign, ensuring maximum reach and participation.
