Diario Libre reports that as from tomorrow anyone who still hasn't obtained their "marbete" sticker, and wishes to do so, must go directly to the Tax Department's (DGII) offices. The express "marbete" stands set up across the country will cease to operate. Even though drivers were given an extension to get the "marbete" sticker, 15% have failed to obtain it.
