About the Examen Teórico Licencia Puebla Exam

The Secretaría de Movilidad y Transporte (SMT) of Puebla requires first-time license applicants to pass a theoretical exam and a practical skills exam on a simulator, and publishes a free 2026 study guide based on the Ley de Movilidad y Seguridad Vial del Estado de Puebla. This independent practice bank by OpenExamPrep follows that guide: the five-level mobility hierarchy, sign classes and Agente de Proximidad Vial signals, speed limits (20, 30, 50, 80 and 110 km/h), turn and passing rules, reversing limits (10 m at 10 km/h), parking on the left and red-curb zones, alcohol limits (0.25 mg/L breath; 0.1 mg/L for motorcycles; zero for passenger and cargo transport), crash procedures and sanctions. The official exam is in Spanish; these questions are an English-language MCQ study adaptation that keeps official Spanish terms, not an official translation or a simulation of the exam.

Exam sponsor: Secretaría de Movilidad y Transporte del Estado de Puebla (SMT). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

At a state license module, the applicant takes the theoretical exam of basic road-education knowledge through the Sistema de Licencias y Permisos para Conducir and then a practical skills exam on a driving simulator. The state procedure page lists passing both exams, having no pending traffic fines and paying the fee as resolution criteria. The SMT's 2026 study guide is based on the Ley de Movilidad y Seguridad Vial del Estado de Puebla and its Reglamento.
