Overview
- The system is live across Mexico and applies to retirees under the 1973 and 1997 pension laws.
- Registration is completed only in the IMSS Digital app (version 8.0.3 or higher) using CURP, Social Security Number, an active email, fingerprint capture and a face scan.
- IMSS communications say failing to verify may halt pension deposits temporarily and limit access to digital services such as the Digital Health ID.
- Coverage differs on whether the institute has formally labeled the process mandatory or set a deadline, though outlets concur on the risk of suspended payments.
- IMSS presents the move as a digital modernization to deter fraud, speed up procedures and reduce in-person trips for older adults.
