Overview
- RENAPO reports 145 in-person modules operating across the 32 states with information updated to February 2026, and it has published a state-by-state directory for locations and hours.
- Registration is conducted in person with prior consent and captures ten fingerprints, iris scans, a high‑resolution facial photo and a digital signature, and minors must attend with a parent or legal guardian.
- Availability varies by state, with CDMX listing eight sites including the RENAPO office at Londres 102, Campeche operating only in San Francisco de Campeche and Ciudad del Carmen, Chiapas offering service in at least seven cities, and Villahermosa using daily turn tickets without online appointments.
- Applicants are asked to bring a certified CURP, official photo ID, and often a birth certificate, proof of address and a valid email, with specific document lists differing for adults and minors.
- Some outlets cite a DOF decree as signaling an end‑February obligation, but Segob and President Claudia Sheinbaum have stated the process is optional for now and does not immediately replace other IDs such as the INE.
