Overview
- Renapo reports about 145 pilot modules operating across the 32 states, with online appointments active and a CDMX site at Londres 102, while state civil registries such as in Estado de México and Veracruz are capturing data.
- Authorities are preparing for a broader activation in October following the DOF reform timeline, as Hidalgo moves up its local start to September 15 and the in‑person process remains free and takes roughly 15–30 minutes.
- The biometric CURP records fingerprints, iris scans, a facial photo and an electronic signature, which will be stored in the Plataforma Única de Identidad with QR‑based encrypted access.
- For minors, records must be linked to a parent or legal guardian’s biometric CURP, and officials note parents should enroll first to enable a child’s registration and periodic photo updates.
- Segob declared the multiyear cloud tender desierta on September 3 after bids failed technical and certification requirements, leaving hosting unresolved as officials encourage uptake, the president says it is not mandatory, and some outlets report it could become required for many services by February 2026.
