There are number of ways to pay the 2024 Marchamo, including INS offices and authorized INS agents, making line at banks and financial institutions offering the service (most) and paying online and picking up the sticker and documentation sent by way of Correos (Post Office).

This Correos option may not be a good option for vehicle owners who plan to use the their vehicle before the sticker arrives.
